Bar Stools & Counter Chairs FAQ
What is the difference between a bar stool and a counter stool?
The main difference between a bar stool and a counter stool is the seating height. A bar stool is taller, with a seat height of 28 to 30 inches. Bar stools are meant for counters that are 41 to 43 inches high. Counter stools have a seat height of 24 to 26 inches and fit with standard kitchen island counters, which are about 35 to 40 inches tall. Many collections come in both heights, so measure carefully before purchasing.
What height bar stool do I need for my counter?
If you have a standard kitchen counter (35 to 40 inches tall), you need a counter chair. Counter stools have a lower seat height of 24 to 26 inches. It's always best to measure your counter first, which should be no higher than 40 inches for a counter stool. If the counter is taller than that, choose a bar stool, which is designed for counters between 41 and 43 inches high.
What style of bar stool works best in a modern home?
Mid-century modern, industrial, and minimalist bar stools all work well in a modern home. Mid-century modern relies on walnut and oak wood with tapered designs, while industrial focuses on thin metal frames paired with a fabric or wooden seat. If you prefer a minimalist design, choose a backless or slim-back bar stool like the Afteroom Stool or the Passage Bar & Counter Stool. Our entire collection is designed with modern minimalism in mind, with slender frames and durable seating.
