Want help choosing the right height and fit?
If you’re deciding between counter height, bar height, or adjustable stools, we can help you confirm measurements before you order. Start with Bar Stools or Counter Stools, then use the guides above to narrow it down.
What height bar stool do I need for a standard 36" kitchen counter?
For a typical 36" counter, most people choose counter height stools with a seat height around 24–26". Aim for roughly 10–12" of space between the seat and the underside of the counter for comfortable leg room.
What stool height works for a 40–42" bar top?
For 40–42" bar surfaces, look for bar height stools with a seat height around 28–30". If your surface height is unusual, adjustable bar stools can be a practical solution.
How far apart should bar stools be spaced?
A good rule is to leave about 6–8" between stools so people can sit comfortably. If the stools have arms or wider seats, plan for 8–10" between stools (sometimes more, depending on the design).
Are swivel bar stools a good idea?
Swivel stools are great when you want easy movement—especially in tighter spaces where turning your body is awkward. If you have small kids or a very narrow walkway behind the stools, a fixed stool can feel simpler and safer.
What are the easiest bar stool materials to clean?
For everyday spills, metal, leather (and quality faux leather), and many performance fabrics are typically the easiest. Wood can be very durable too, but it benefits from the right finish and basic care to stay looking sharp.
Can outdoor bar stools stay outside year-round in Canada?
It depends on the material and your exposure. Covered patios are easier. For open exposure to rain/snow, look for weather-ready materials and consider storing cushions or moving stools under cover during harsh weather. Our Outdoor guides break down the best options.
Do you have options suitable for restaurants and hospitality?
Yes—commercial spaces usually need durable finishes, easy cleaning, and designs that hold up in high traffic. Start with Commercial Bar Stools Canada and our Commercial guides for layout + material recommendations.
Why do people search for “bar stools Canada” instead of just “bar stools”?
Most shoppers want clear shipping expectations, pricing in CAD, and support that understands Canadian homes and measurements. That’s why we focus on practical details—heights, spacing, materials, and real-world fit—so you can buy confidently.
