Bar & Counter Stools

How Tall Should Bar Stools Be?

Common Stool Heights

Most counter stools range between 25 to 30 inches, with "tall" barstools ranging between 30 to 40 inches. When picking a counter or bar stool, it's important to leave about 10" between the seat of the stool and the bottom of the bar or counter so your legs have a comfortable amount of space.

What is the difference between a bar stool and a counter stool?

In all reality, there is not much difference between bar stools and counter stools. The only difference is that kitchen island counter stools may be more apt to have a back on them than counter stools.

What bar stools are in style?

The counter height bar stools that are most in demand right now are typically made of solid wood such as Oak or Maple. In addition, they also feature no arms. Upholstered styles are just as popular as those without upholstered seats or backs. There is also a growing trend towards saddle kitchen stools as well.
