Essential tips and expert advice to help you choose the right bar stools
Counter height stools (60-70cm) suit bench tops around 90cm. Bar height stools (70-80cm) are ideal for bars at 105-110cm. Leave 25-30cm between stool seat and counter top.
Backless stools tuck away easily. Low backs offer some support while maintaining sightlines. Full backs provide maximum comfort for longer sitting.
Swivel stools offer flexibility and easy movement. Fixed stools are more stable and often more affordable. Consider your space and how you'll use them.
Wood offers warmth and durability. Metal suits industrial spaces. Upholstered seats add comfort. Consider maintenance and your kitchen's humidity levels.
Allow 60-70cm width per stool for comfortable seating. Measure your counter length and divide to determine how many stools will fit comfortably.
Check the weight rating, especially for adjustable gas lift stools. Quality stools typically support 100-150kg. Commercial grade supports 150kg+.
