Is there space to comfortably sit in saddle seat stools at this island? Thinking of purchasing two saddle seat stools for this island...

As it is, no. My husband and I have discussed the possibility of replacing the top with a piece of another material (granite?) that would hang over one end, allowing some leg room for a seat.

We don't use them on ours, but I think there is room depending on how wide the stools are. I would get a measuring tape out and pull it to the width to see what you think. It's a great island and so pretty.

I would also say no. with no overhang on the top, I don't think it would be comfortable to sit at on stools. Still loving it many months later for so many reasons...but we do not use it to sit at.

I would have to say no. There really isn't a good spot to put a seat and your knees would be knocking into something all the way around the island.

It most likely can be done. However, adding casters will probably add another 2 inches in height. I am 5'6" and the island catches me above the waistline. I would say the island is probably 1-2 inches above standard cabinet height as is.

I purchased this for a gift. I don't know if you can order additional stools.

It may be comfortable depending on the person but I had many problems trying to find a comfy bike seat for a regular bike due to the need for hip replacement surgery. I had a lot of pain due to hip problems, not the seat. Trying to find a comfy seat, someone suggested a recumbent trike, where you are seated like normal, sitting down with your butt fully supported, as in a chair. After surgery I tried riding my regular bike but still found it uncomfortable, so I am sticking with my trike. I also have found that riding my horse in a saddle, even though I am upright as on a bike, does not hurt either due to full support of my butt and thighs in the saddle. I tried the Serfas Super Cruiser before surgery but since I was hurting anyway, I sent it back. Here is what I found about most bike seats. They try to pad the seat for comfort but end up working against the shape of the butt which rounds outward. To see what I am trying to say...imaging pushing two fully inflated balloons together. Bike seat makers add padding but the padding juts outward, opposite on the shape of a butt. So instead of feeling comfy, a butt is pushing against the opposite shape that it really is. If they could design a bike seat more to the shape of a horse saddle or even a tractor seat, I think more people with physical size challenges would ride bikes....but if not, try a trike.

The seat isn't big enough. It seems dangerous to me. I would recommend something with two seats. My grandkids love theirs.

hi Jennifer, the bar stool your looking at is adjustable. So if your looking for a real tall seat or a real low seat its perfect!!!! I bought three of them and everybody compliments me on them. you have to climb up on them to sit in them when there all the way up. I Love them. had the round bottom base powder coated nap black, goes perfect with the seat . Hope this helps ! Enjoy : )

Gosh - I'm not sure. I do know that folks up to 240 have sat on these comfortably. Just make sure the screws are tight! That's my only complaint on these stool: the screws come loose. Other than that - they are wonderful and comfortable and very attractive.

As others mentioned, you need counter height (not bar) stools. Two adults can sit at the leaf with enough room for two place settings, there won't be a lot of extra room and you will be sitting next to each other not across from each other. I really don't have complaints, love the extra storage space and it's a great place to gather around in the kitchen, standing or sitting. The butcher block conditioner does a good job for cleaning and bringing out the grain.

There is plenty of room for you to lay across the seats. Not your ideal laying out float. It's intended more for people sitting.

I got the Winsome 24-Inch Square Leg Counter Stool, Black, Set of 2....solid and look good...fit well with this island.

They are chairs, but they are taller chairs, so they are called stools. The island is bar height, not table height. As for it being off white? No, it's white...not the brightest of whites, but not distressed either. The seats and top of island have distressing, but there are no markings on the white parts. This is a lovely island. I'm very happy with it.

this is the best little stool! I have two of them. You can sit comfortably on the top step but there is no space for sitting on the bottom step.

I think the stools that came with the island are beautiful but your white wit black should look OK. Just do what you like and be happy.

I have the table and it's a perfect4 top...2 more chairs would be too many and would be cramped.

The seat is in the lowest posible position in that photo. You'd never use it that way, but I guess you'd just put your feet on the floor if you really wanted to sit that low. The stool is comfortable and the footrest is in a good position. I'm 6'2" and I'm comfortable on it. I usually have one foot on the ground and the other on the footrest so I can rest the guitar on one knee, if that makes sense. I never bother to put the backrest on because I always lean forward when I play.

Depends. We planned to possibly put two beach chairs in there so we would be shaded. That would work if they were low to the ground beach chairs. Definitely no more than 2 adult chairs would fit. If you just have adults sitting in there, then probably no more than 3 would fit comfortably.

Not necessarily, the island is currently being used by a tenant in an apartment that I rent as addtional counterspace The item doesn't offer the additional space that you may be looking for to dine at however it is a very good piece.
