Bar Stools vs Counter Stools: What is the Difference? They look similar but they are built for different heights. Here is what you need to know.
Height: Bar stools run 28 to 32 inches. Perfect for actual bars and high top tables. Counter stools are 24 to 27 inches. Made for kitchen islands and standard counters.
How to Choose Measure first: You want 9 to 12 inches between the seat and your surface for comfortable legroom. Think about where you will use them. Bar stools for pubs and high tables. Counter stools for kitchens and breakfast bars. Consider comfort. Footrests, back support, and swivel features matter if you will be sitting for a while.
Get the height right and pick features that fit your lifestyle. That is how you find a stool that works as good as it looks.
