Bar Stools Frequently Asked Questions

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


Counter Stools are approximately 24 to 26 inches high from the top of the seat to the floor, making them ideal for most kitchen counters that are 36 inches from the top of the floor. However, many counters are 40 to 42 inches off the floor, which happens to be the same height as a commercial bar. For that you would need Bar Stools that are about 30 to 32 inches high. For instance, if you have a breakfast bar or pass-through counter in your home, you would most likely need counter stools. If you have a wet bar in your home, then bar stools would probably be better.
