Tall stool height guide
Choosing the right stool height keeps guests comfortable and your counter looking balanced. As a general rule, allow 25 to 30cm between the seat and the underside of the counter.
Bar height counters (105 to 110cm): choose 76cm tall stools.
Standard counter height (90 to 100cm): choose 65 to 66cm counter stools.
Kitchen island (85 to 90cm): choose 60 to 65cm stools.
For comfortable spacing, allow around 55 to 60cm of width per stool. A 180cm counter seats three to four stools comfortably.
Backrest, swivel and material options
With or without a backrest: backless stools tuck fully under the counter and suit high turnover cafes, while stools with backs add support for longer seating.
Fixed or swivel: fixed stools are the sturdiest choice for busy venues, while swivel stools make it easier for guests to get in and out.
Material: stainless steel and powder coated steel handle heavy commercial use, polypropylene suits indoor and outdoor areas, and timber adds warmth for relaxed settings.
