Frequently Asked Questions About Black Bar Stools
What height should bar stools be for my kitchen counter or bar?
For a standard 36-inch kitchen counter, bar stools should have a 24–26 inch seat height. This leaves about 10–12 inches of space between the seat and the underside of the counter for comfortable leg room. For a 40–42 inch bar top, choose bar stools with a 28–30 inch seat height so you sit at the correct height for the surface.
How many bar stools will fit at my kitchen island?
A simple rule is to allow 21–24 inches of counter width per bar stool. For a 6-foot (72 inch) island, that usually means three stools. For an 8-foot (96 inch) island, four stools is comfortable. If your stools have arms or very wide seats, plan for a little more space so guests are not bumping elbows.
Will leather bar stools age well in a Canadian home?
Quality leather bar stools age well when they are cared for properly. Over time, real leather develops a soft patina that adds character. To keep the leather in good condition in Canada’s dry winter air, keep stools away from direct heat sources and condition the leather occasionally with a suitable leather conditioner.
Can I use counter height stools at a bar-height counter or raised bar?
No. Bar-height counters and raised bars are usually 40–42 inches tall, which is too high for 24–26 inch counter height stools. You would feel too low at the surface. For bar-height counters, choose bar stools with a 28–30 inch seat height so you sit at the right level.
How do wood bar stools perform in a busy kitchen?
Wood bar stools bring warmth and a natural look to your kitchen. Our designs use finishes that help protect against everyday spills, but we recommend wiping up liquids quickly and avoiding harsh cleaners. Adding felt pads to the stool feet also helps protect your floors.
Are swivel bar stools safe and stable for everyday use?
Yes. Quality swivel bar stools are designed with sturdy bases and smooth rotation mechanisms so they remain stable in everyday use. For homes with young children, look for designs with a heavy base, a footrest and, if you prefer, a full back to encourage safe, balanced sitting.
What are the benefits of adjustable bar stools?
Adjustable bar stools are ideal when you have different counter heights or want stools that can move between spaces. The height range usually covers both counter and bar heights, so one stool can work at a 36 inch kitchen island and a 40–42 inch bar top. They are also useful for families with people of different heights.
