How to Choose Bar and Counter Stools
Before we dive into the beautiful options for stools at Meadow Blu, it’s important to know which type of seating you’ll need for your space. You’ll want to start by choosing the appropriate stool based on the height of either your bar table, bar, or counters. Counter height bar stools fit underneath countertops and typically fit under counters with a standard height between around 34 to 39 inches. Bar stools go under bars that have an average height of 42 inches. The standard height for most counter stools is between 24 and 29 inches tall so it fits directly underneath your countertop. The standard height for most bar stools is between 29 and 32 inches. Therefore, bar stools are taller than counter height stools in almost every instance. Measure your bar table, bar, or counters to determine their exact height to help you find the right stool for you. Compare this measurement with the height of the stool you like to ensure a proper fit.
