F.A.Q.
What is the standard height of a barstool?
The typical height of a barstool is around 30 inches, measured from the floor to the seat. The standard height of a bar is usually around 40 inches, so the roughly 10-inch difference allows for maximum comfort and functionality for your guests. However, discrepancies occur for varying counter or bar heights.
What’s the difference between barstools and counter stools?
While many might erroneously assume that bar stools and counter stools are interchangeable terms, they indicate different sizes. Unlike a bar stool, which is typically around 30 inches in height, a counter stool is typically around 25 inches from floor to seat. They’re meant to accommodate a counter around 35 inches tall. A bar stool is typically designed for commercial bars, whereas a counter stool is meant for a kitchen counter or breakfast bar.
How do I decide which barstool height I need?
While purchasing a counter stool for home use and a barstool for commercial use might sound like a good strategy, there can always be variations in counter or bar heights depending on your design plan. Instead of winging it, measure from the floor to the top of the counter or bar and subtract 10 inches. This will give you roughly the ideal height for your seats, although you might want to go a few inches bigger if you prefer your setup to be a tad roomier.
