Bar and Counter Stools FAQ

Looking for the perfect bar stools? Get answers to your most common questions about heights, sizes, and styles to create comfortable, stylish seating for your home entertaining spaces.

How tall are counter height bar stools?

Counter stools typically measure 24-26 inches from floor to seat, making them perfect for kitchen islands. These stools are designed to pair with counter height tables or surfaces that are 34-36 inches tall in your kitchen or dining room. They're shorter than standard bar height stools, making them ideal for kitchen islands and dining counters that need comfortable seating.

How tall are bar stools?

Standard bar height stools measure 29-31 inches from floor to seat, offering more height compared to counter stools. These stools are designed to pair with bar height tables or surfaces that are 40-42 inches tall. Bar stools are taller than counter height stools to accommodate higher surfaces typically found in home bars and pub tables.

Where to buy bar stools?

How tall should bar stools be?

Bar stool height should match your surface height: choose 24-26 inch stools for counter height surfaces (34-36 inches), or 29-31 inch bar stools for bar height surfaces (40-42 inches) in a kitchen or dining room. Allow 9-12 inches between the seat and counter/bar surface for comfortable seating and legroom in your home.

How to reupholster a bar stool​?

To reupholster a bar stool, first remove the seat and strip off old fabric and staples. Cut new fabric using the old piece as a template, adding 2-3 inches extra all around, ensuring it's upholstery fabric. Center the fabric over new foam padding if needed, pull tight, and secure with staples working from the middle outward.

What size bar stool for 36 inch counter?

For a 36-inch counter, choose counter-height bar stools that measure 24-26 inches from floor to seat. This provides the ideal 10-12 inches of space between the seat and counter surface of your kitchen and dining room, allowing comfortable seating and enough leg room for most adults.

How to measure bar stool height​?

To measure the right bar stool height, use a tape measure from the floor to the top of the seat (not including the backrest). For accurate measurements, ensure the stool is on a level surface and measure straight up, not at an angle.

Where to buy replacement bar stool seats​?

Contact Ashley customer service directly for genuine replacement seats for Ashley bar stools under warranty. For out-of-warranty stools, visit Ashley's parts department online or in-store. Another solution is to create your own or shop at a familiar marketplace for bar stool replacement seats.

How many bar stools for 10 foot island?

A 10-foot kitchen island can comfortably accommodate 4-5 bar stools, allowing 24-30 inches of width per person. This spacing ensures comfortable seating and easy movement, though the exact number depends on stool width and whether you want end overhang.
