Counter Milk Stool
from $685.00

The 25" Counter Milk Stool is a refined interpretation of the traditional farmer’s milk stool — reimagined with sculptural lines, heirloom craftsmanship, and solid American hardwood construction. Designed to function beautifully at kitchen islands, counter-height surfaces, and flexible living spaces, this three-leg counter stool offers both visual elegance and everyday durability.

The signature three-leg design provides exceptional stability — even on uneven floors — while the sculpted leg geometry creates a striking architectural silhouette. Whether placed at a kitchen island, used as occasional seating, or styled as a side table, the Counter Milk Stool brings warmth, balance, and versatility to any space.

Each stool is handcrafted in our Hudson Valley, New York studio from regionally sourced, furniture-grade, kiln-dried American hardwoods. We meticulously select each board for color harmony and grain character, ensuring every piece is unique while maintaining a cohesive, elevated look.

Traditional mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joinery provide exceptional structural integrity, resulting in a stool designed to last for decades. The natural oil and wax finish enhances the wood’s depth and texture while offering a durable, low-sheen surface that ages beautifully over time.
