Which is right for your needs? Counter or Bar stool??? What is the difference?

The two stools at first glance may seem to be interchangeable but in reality they have different functions, purposes. The counter stool is going to be a bit lower than a regular bar stool, it normally will stand around 30-31 inches. This is great for the new gourmet kitchens that have counter space for work stations. You will find the counter stool allows for you to sit comfortably and work at the counter while the traditional bar stool would be a bit too high. Many contemporary homes are using counter stools in open kitchens that will be where they will entertain friends and family.

If you are looking for stools that are taller then you need a Bar Stool. This is normally the height found in your favorite restaurant bar area.

Before buying be sure to remember to measure the place the stool will be used so you won’t need to sit on pillows or even worse sit away from the intented space because the stool is too high!

Make sure you measure the counter top where your bar stool, counter stool, kitchen chair or dining room chair will be used ?and be sure to leave adequate clearance, normally you will want to have between 9-12 inches between the top of your leg to the underside of the counter/bar/table.
