Counter Stools

1. Bar stools, counter stools ... there is a difference! Be sure to measure the height of your intended seating area before you buy a bar stool or counter stool. Our pages are loaded with guidelines to help you make the best selection quickly.

2. Counter stools have a seat height of 23 - 28 inches and are designed to be paired with a bar or counter surface that's 35 - 37 inches from the floor. Did you measure? If it's taller than 37 inches, head on over to our sections for bar stools and extra tall bar stools. If a counter-height stool is what you need, grab a drink and stay awhile - this is the section for you.

3. Boring seating is so dining room. As you bring your dining and entertaining experiences into the kitchen, make sure you bring the right style to match. We've got wooden counter stools for traditional decor, leather bar stools for a touch of elegance, and chromed-out contemporary bar stools for the fashion-forward.

4. Customize your counter stool by choosing the features you desire. Our options range from a simple saddle seat to a full-swivel stool with a backrest, armrests, and footrests - and every combination in between.

5. Sitting at the kitchen counter or island means you'll most likely be moving around. Swivel counter stools let you drop in or pop out with ease, so you can clean up a spill or check on the bruschetta so fast, it'll make your head spin.

6. Two, four, six, eight? If they're too close together, no one will appreciate your beautiful new counter stools. Stationary counter stools require 26 - 30 inches between the center of each stool, while swivel counter stools require 28 - 32 inches.

7. Whether it's sauce from an errant spaghetti noodle or drops from a sloshed cocktail, a kitchen bar stool is going to see its share of shrapnel. Our stools are crafted from a wide variety of easy-to-clean, high-quality materials to help uphold the appearance that you've got the kitchen under control.
