How do you choose a bar or counter stool that is the right height?



To determine the appropriate height for your bar stool, you need to consider the height of your counter or bar and the necessary legroom for comfort. Bar stools typically come in various heights, categorized as follows:

  • Counter stools: 23" - 28" seat height (ideal for counters around 36" - 42" tall)
  • Bar stools: 29" - 32" seat height (ideal for bars around 40" - 44" tall)
  • Tall bar stools: 33" - 36" seat height (ideal for bars around 45" - 48" tall)

Here's how to ensure your stool will fit comfortably at your bar or counter:

  1. Measure your bar/counter height: Measure the distance from the floor to the underside of your bar or countertop.
  2. Consider ideal legroom: Aim for 9" - 10" clearance between the stool seat and the underside of the counter to ensure comfortable legroom.
  3. Match heights: Choose a stool height that allows for this legroom when placed under your counter.

For example, if your counter is 38" tall, you would likely want a counter stool with a seat height of around 24" - 28" to ensure comfortable legroom.
