We want shopping at Barstools.com to be an easy, enjoyable experience. By following the three basic steps outlined in this simple buying guide, you can be sure to find the perfect barstools so you can order with confidence.
Step 1 - Measure
Measure the height of your counter or table. We recommend measuring twice, as your counter or table height will determine the proper barstool height. Once you know your counter or table height, simply match this with the appropriate diagram below to find the correct barstools. That's all there is to it!
Feel free to use these illustrative diagrams as a reference for measuring points. Note that all barstool "seat height" measurements refer to the distance from the floor to the top of the seat.

Counter-Height Stools. A counter-height barstool is commonly 24-26 inches from the floor to the seat (24 to 26-inch seat height). Pair counter-height barstools with 35 to 37-inch table heights. |
Bar-Height Stools. A bar-height barstool is commonly 29-31 inches from the floor to the seat (29 to 31-inch seat height). Pair bar-height barstools with 41 to 43-inch table heights. |
Extra-Tall Stools. An extra-tall barstool is commonly 33-35 inches from the floor to the seat (33 to 35-inch seat height). Pair extra-tall barstool with 44 to 47-inch table heights. |

Step 2 - Determine how many barstools you need
Figuring out the right number of barstools for your counter or pub table is easy. Follow the industry standard, which is to allow 26-30 inches between the centers of each barstool. This will provide adequate spacing for people to eat, drink, and socialize.
