Modern and Contemporary Barstools and Counter Stools
When it comes to elevating the aesthetics and functionality of your dining or kitchen area, few elements are as impactful as modern barstools and counter stools. Renowned for their sleek design and versatility, these seating options play a crucial role in shaping the ambiance of a space.
Key features of modern barstools and counter stools
What's the difference between a barstool and a counter stool?
Counter stools are typically shorter than barstools, designed to fit under standard kitchen counters that are around 36 inches high. These stools usually have a seat height of about 24 to 26 inches. On the other hand, barstools are intended for higher surfaces, such as bar tables or counters that are around 42 inches tall, with seat heights ranging from 28 to 30 inches.
When choosing between the two, measure the height of your counter or bar to ensure a comfortable fit.
