If their versatility wasn’t reason enough to buy them, they’re also on sale today.Ivy Bronx Modern Upholstered Counter StoolWayfair$315$290 at WayfairI snagged the stools in a plush and inviting bouclé fabric with black metal detailing, which not only provides a gorgeous contrast to the white upholstery but is a sturdy base that makes me feel secure enough to actually relax. The under-$300 set includes two chairs and comes in other colors including gold hardware and black velvet-like material.Although I have a smaller counter space, the 26-inch seat height conveniently fits right under the marble island. They tuck out of the way and don’t take up too much room in my tiny 500-square-foot apartment.
