What size bar stool do I need?

To ensure that you find just the right bar stool begin by measuring the height of your counter, bar, or table. A good size barstool should have about 10 to 12 inches for comfortable seating. From there you can determine if a barstool is going to be an appropriate fit, and if so, which size of bar stool you would need.

The standard rule is to allow between 10 to 12 inches between the barstool seat and the bottom of the counter or bar. This will ensure that your barstool fits under the counter, bar or table and leaves you with plenty of legroom.

When choosing bar stools with arms, make sure the arms fit under your counter, bar or table.

Your body height also is a factor in choosing the height of a bar stool. You want a barstool that puts you at a comfortable level with the counter, bar or table while providing plenty of legroom. The key to finding the right bar stool is to focus on what makes you comfortable.

Be sure to leave extra room if you choose a barstool that swivels for easy entry and exit from the bar stool.

• A bar stool is commonly 29-31 inches from the floor to the seat (seat height). Pair this bar stool with a 41-43 inch table height.
• A counter stool is commonly 24-26 inches from the floor to the seat (seat height). Pair this counter stool with a 35-37 inch table height.
