Most of our counter stools in Canada use easy-clean faux leather, genuine leather, or performance fabrics so spills and crumbs wipe away quickly. Built-in footrests and ergonomically shaped seats keep guests comfortable through breakfasts, homework sessions and late-night snacks.
Counter Stools vs. Bar Stools – What’s the Difference?
Counter stools are made for 36" high counters, while bar stools are designed for taller 40–42" bar tops. If you’re furnishing a traditional kitchen island or peninsula, you almost always want counter height stools. If your surface is bar-height, head over to our bar stools instead.

Counter Stools FAQ
Q1: What height counter stool do I need for a 36" counter?
A: For a standard 36" kitchen counter, you’ll want counter height stools with a seat height of about 24–26 inches. This leaves roughly 9–12" of space between the top of the seat and the underside of your countertop, which is the most comfortable range for eating and working at the counter.
Q2: What is the difference between counter stools and bar stools?
A: Counter stools are built for 36" high kitchen counters and peninsulas, usually with a 24–26" seat height. Bar stools are taller and made for 40–42" bar tops, with a typical seat height of 28–30". If you’re seating people at a regular kitchen island, you almost always want counter stools, not bar stools.
Q3: How many counter stools do I need for my kitchen island?
A: As a rule of thumb, allow about 21–24 inches of width per stool. For a 6-foot island you can usually seat three counter stools, while an 8-foot island can often fit four. Leave a bit more space if you choose stools with arms or a wider seat.
Q4: Are faux-leather counter stools durable enough for families?
A: Yes. Our faux-leather counter height stools are designed for real kitchens and wipe clean easily with a soft cloth. They resist most everyday spills and are a great option for kids, pets and busy households that want low-maintenance seating.
Q5: Can I mix different styles of counter stools in one kitchen?
A: Absolutely. Many customers mix styles by keeping the same seat height but changing base finishes – for example combining wood-base counter stools at the island with metal-base stools at a side counter – while keeping colours or upholstery consistent so the space still feels cohesive.
What Height Counter Stool for a 36 Inch Counter?
For a standard 36-inch kitchen counter, the ideal counter stool seat height ranges between 24 and 26 inches. This height provides the optimal 9 to 12 inches of legroom between the seat and the countertop, ensuring comfortable seating for everyday use. Choosing the right stool height is essential to maintain proper posture and ease of movement while sitting at your kitchen island or peninsula.
How Many Counter Stools for a 6 Foot Island?
When planning seating for a 6-foot kitchen island, a good rule of thumb is to allow about 21 to 24 inches of width per stool. This typically means you can comfortably fit three counter stools along a 6-foot island. Be sure to account for the width of the stools and any armrests to ensure enough space for guests to sit and move freely without feeling cramped.
Are Counter Stools or Bar Stools Better for a Kitchen Island?
Counter stools are generally the better choice for kitchen islands because they are designed to fit standard 36-inch high counters. Bar stools, which are taller with seat heights around 28 to 30 inches, are better suited for bar-height surfaces of 40 to 42 inches. Using counter stools for your kitchen island ensures a comfortable seating height that complements the island's surface, promoting ease of use and a cohesive look.
Options in Wood, Metal, Swivel, and Adjustable Bases
Our counter stools Canada selection includes a variety of base options to suit your style and functional needs. Wood bases offer a timeless, warm aesthetic perfect for traditional or rustic kitchens. Metal bases provide durability and a modern edge, ideal for contemporary or industrial interiors. Swivel stools add versatility and ease of movement, making chatting and multitasking more convenient. Adjustable bases allow you to customize the seat height to fit different counter heights or user preferences, enhancing everyday functionality.
Easy-Clean Materials Like Faux Leather and Performance Fabric
To accommodate real-life kitchen use, many of our counter stools feature easy-clean materials such as faux leather and performance fabrics. Faux leather stools are highly durable, stain-resistant, and simple to wipe clean, making them ideal for families and busy households. Performance fabrics offer both comfort and resilience, resisting spills and wear while maintaining a sleek, stylish look. These materials ensure your stools stay looking great while providing lasting comfort and practicality.
