Overview
No Assembly Required
Powder Coated Metal Frame
Adjustable Floor Glide
The Markus Caramel Faux Leather and Metal Backless Counter Height Stool does more with less than most counter stools attempt. The backless design is a deliberate space-saving choice — without a back extending behind the seat, the stool tucks fully under the counter when not in use, keeping the kitchen or bar area open and uncluttered. The caramel faux leather padded seat sits on a powder-coated black metal frame that resists chips and scratches in a way painted metal frames don't. The design details are understated and considered — a rolled apron at the seat edge, a circular foot rest at a natural resting height, and rounded feet that finish the silhouette cleanly. None of these details demand attention. Together they signal that someone paid attention to the whole piece, not just the seat. Adjustable floor levelers ensure a stable, level position on uneven floors while protecting hardwood, tile, and laminate from scratches. At 17" wide with a 25" seat height, it fits at standard counter height surfaces without crowding the space. Sold individually — order the quantity you need. No assembly required — arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Weight capacity: 300 lbs. Backed by a 30-Day Guarantee.

Four Reasons Our Customers Never Look Back
The Stool That Disappears When You Don't Need It.
Most counter stools have a presence problem. When nobody's sitting on them, they still occupy space — backs extending behind the counter line, breaking the clean edge of the kitchen, making the room feel smaller than it is. The Markus solves this without compromise. The backless design tucks fully under the counter when not in use, returning the kitchen to its full open footprint in seconds. No pulling out, no angling, no visible back rising above the counter surface. It's there when you need it. It disappears when you don't.
Backless Doesn't Mean Uncomfortable.
Backless seating carries an assumption — that the designer chose the look over the sit, and you'll be reminded of that choice after the first twenty minutes. The Markus is built to challenge that assumption. The caramel faux leather padded seat is cushioned for real counter use — the kind of sitting that happens over morning coffee, a quick lunch, or an evening at the kitchen island. It's not a hard surface with a leather cover. It's a padded seat that happens to not have a back, which is a very different thing.
The Details You Notice Up Close.
Most backless counter stools are defined by what they don't have — no back, no arms, no visual noise. The Markus adds something back without adding visual noise. The rolled apron at the seat edge. The circular foot rest at a natural resting height. The rounded feet that finish the silhouette cleanly. None of these details photograph dramatically. None of them show up in the headline. They're what you notice when the stool is in your kitchen and you realize it looks more considered than most things at this price point — and you can't quite explain why until you look closer.
A Finish That Holds Up. In a Real Kitchen.
A clean, minimal stool lives or dies by how well it holds its look over time. The chip on the frame leg. The scratch where it gets pulled out against the cabinet. The spot where the paint wore through first. The Markus's powder-coated black metal frame addresses all of these before they happen. Powder-coating bonds to the metal at a molecular level — it resists the chips, scratches, and wear that painted frames accumulate in a real kitchen. Adjustable floor levelers handle uneven surfaces and protect floors from scratching. The stool looks the same on day one as it does a year later. That's the whole point.
