Calculating the Right Height
Counter or Bar stools should be chosen with consideration for the exact height of your surface, so make sure to take precise measurements. For best comfort, there should ideally be between 9 and 12 inches of space from the top of the stool seat to the underside of the bar. If you are trying to match cabinetry or fixtures it may be beneficial to bring in a cabinet door, drawer or hardware with you.
Counter Height
A counter-height barstool is 24 to 26 inches tall from the floor to the top of the seat. Either height will work for a surface that measures 34 inches to 36 inches from the floor to the top of that surface. Counter height stools are also available in swivel and non-swivel styles as well as backless versions to fit into tight spaces.
Bar Height
Bar-height stools are 29 to 31 inches from the floor to the top of the seat. Bar height dining is great for bistro sets and casual areas. Any height in this range will work for a surface that measures 40 inches to 43 inches from the floor to the top of that surface. Some styles will not make arm stools that will fit under the bar and other styles will offer custom arm heights to accommodate any needs you may have. Bar height stools are also available in swivel and non-swivel styles as well as backless versions to fit into tight spaces.
Spectator Height
Spectator height stools are 34 to 36 inches from the floor to the top of the seat. Any height in this range will work for a surface that measures 45 inches to 48 inches from the floor to the top of that surface. Spectator height stools are also available in swivel and non-swivel styles as well as backless versions to fit into tight spaces.

CUSTOMIZATION CONSULTING SERVICE
We are not here to convince anyone of buying our furniture. To be honest, we hope that you have done your research before you come to Barstools. We actually hope that you have experienced lower quality furniture whether it be for accent chairs, bedroom furniture, living room furniture, coffee tables, patio dining sets, etc. so you understand the importance in high quality furniture. We actually even hope that you come in knowing exactly what you want. Wouldn’t that make all of our lives easier?! However, we are here to educate and inform. Not influence or persuade. If you want help when shopping for quality heirloom furniture, especially dining tables, we are here to offer it.
Why would you need a consultation for furniture design? Well, when you are buying not an accessory but rather a focal point and a staple to go within your home for as long as you have that home, you realize that you are adding to your home. This piece of furniture is meant to last lifetimes. So, you might want to have a good idea of what size furniture you need, what is comfortable to you and your family, what style you prefer and not what’s trending right now, and even wood species or finishing colors, as the colors should go along with the paint on your walls. Not the decoration on the walls.
DINING SETS
Consider both the size of your eating space and the number of guests you will want to seat when deciding on a new quality dining set.
OUTDOOR DINING
Check out our outdoor furniture. Outdoor furniture is a cinch with finch.
Bistro tables are especially ideal for outdoor use as a conversation set. If you have a lawn or garden area that you would like to and enhance with an ‘accent piece’, then you might be interested in one of our bistro table sets that are especially designed with more durable materials for occasional outdoor use. Throw the garden party of the year!
The term ‘bistro’ comes from the phrase ‘Persian Bistro’, which in English means a small cafe with open seating. The first bistro table sets were seen in the late nineteenth century where, due to their historically ‘light’ and ‘nimble’ nature, they became a huge success with the lemonade-sellers who wished to avoid paying for a more ‘permanent’ fixture. Soon the legendary bistro table sets would be found everywhere … in Paris bistro cafes, in the outdoor cafes along the Seine and Marne rivers, and now… you will find them in a number of gardens and cafes throughout the West, where people will spend time gathered for coffee and conversation.
