Bar Stool Overview
Bar stools are found in more locations than just your local pub these days. People are now placing stools all over their home to compliment  breakfast nooks, kitchen counters, and home bars. When purchasing barstools, narrow down the overwhelming selection by choosing the right bar stools height, style, and additional features. You will be able to find just the right fit in no time!

Step 1: Decide the Bar Stool Height
You can determine the appropriate bar stool by measuring the height of your home bar, kitchen counter, or pub table. A barstool's height is determined by the seat height, not its total height, which ensures that the legs will fit under the table's surface. Your kitchen counter should be about 10-12” higher than your bar stool’s seat height. Typically, counter height seats are 24-26" high, while bar height seats are 30-32" high.

Step 2: Choose the Perfect Bar Stool Style
Decorating your home with bar stools is a great way to display your personal style. There is a wide variety of styles that can match your home’s current décor including traditional, novelty, and casual styles to name only a few.

Step 3: Select Additional Bar Stool Features
Once you decide which bar stool style will best fit your home décor, you can then decide if you need any specific bar stool features. Features include seat orientation, upholstery, and whether it can be used outdoors. Popular barstool features include swivel seats, fabric, vinyl and leather upholstery options and more.

Step 4: Select a Pub Table or Bar to Compliment Your Stools
If you don't already have a table, you can now choose the right companion bar furniture. Whether you want a bar to go with your bar height stools or a pub table to match your counter height stools, you can have that 1950's retro lounge, sports bar, or Tiki bar that you have always dreamed about!
