How To Measure Bar Stools And What Else To Pay Attention To

There are several ways on how to measure bar stools. All in all, the thing that really matters is the distance between table surface and cushion surface. According to standard furniture guides, the latter one should be somewhere in between 9 and 13 inches. In other words, bar stool and table /counter height are closely connected, and if you measure one, you will also have to measure the other. And here is what you should focus on:

Distance from the floor to the bar cushion
There are several types of bar stools in regard to distance from the floor to the bar stool cushion. The shortest, table height stool (no different from a standard stool or chair) is going to be 16-23 inches high; counter height bar stools (generally, non-adjustable) are a bit higher — 24-27 inches. Then, there are classic bar stools of 28-33 inches high. Plus, they often have a height adjusting option. And, finally, there is the highest type of bar stools, also called stadium, spectator, or simply extra tall stools — they are usually in between 33-36 inches high.

Distance from the bar stool cushion to table / counter top
Obviously, each bar stool height presupposes certain counter height. As it was already mentioned, the distance between stool cushion and table surface should be at least 9-13 inches. So, it is possible to point out several standard bar stand height options. Short stand is the same size as a standard dining table — 28-30 inches high; then, there is counter height of 35-39 inches; classic bars stands will be somewhere in between 41 and 43 inches; and an extra tall stands are 44-47 inches high.

Stools with arms /backs vs classic stools
As you look for models and wonder how to measure bar stools, do not forget about additional arm and back support. As of today, plenty of models feature some kind of arms and backs, and it is also important to make sure that they fit under your counter. So, apart from measuring the distance between table and stool top, you should also pay attention to back and arm design — if any, of course.

Style combinations
And, finally, do not forget that style combinations are almost as important as the actual physical dimensions. On the whole, most bar stool designs look equally impressive with different counters. Yet if you go for a demanding decoration pattern (like vintage or rustic one), you might have to do a little more thinking.
