Bar Stool Size Guide

Did you know that there are multiple sizes of barstools available? The right size is important for many reasons, especially comfort.

What Size Barstool Do I Need?

Which is the right barstool height for you? Counter, spectator, regular chair height? Ideally, there should be 10-12 between the top of the seat of your barstool and the top of your counter or bar so that you can easily fit your knees underneath the counter without being too crowded.

How Many Barstools Will Fit?

Measuring the widest part of the stool, sometimes the seat, other times the base, or the width from armrest to armrest when you have a larger stool with armrests can help you determine how many stools will fit comfortably at your table, counter, peninsula, or bar we recommend at least 1 foot spacing in between each stool or chair.

You want to have space between each stool for your guests or family members to be able to comfortably access that stool to sit as well as to make it easy to get down from the stool when others are seated on both sides and not bang into each other. This is particularly important when buying stools for commercial purposes, such as a dining establishment, bar, or entertainment venue as guests who feel crowded are not likely to stay for very long.

Having the ability to swivel all the way around might mean that you don’t need as much space between stools as people can spin their barstool to have more space to get up or down. Having armrests or high backs will also impact the amount of space you need between each stool. Adding a few inches to each side of the widest part of the stool when doing your measurements is going to be helpful.
