Best Bets For Bar Stools
October 13, 2008
Putting short stools at a high bar doesn’t make sense. If a person has to strain to reach a bar they will be uncomfortable and more likely to have an accident. And, if a bar stool is too high a person’s legs will be unlikely to reach the ground, creating a seating situation that is awkward at best.When determining which counter height bar stools would be best you should keep these instructions in mind:
- Measure tables and counters by the length of the floor to the top of the table or bar. About 10-12 inches should be between a table top and a stool’s seat.
- Measure the table’s overhang; this includes the distance from the tabletop to the lowest part of the table’s sides, excluding the table’s legs. The wider the overhang, the lower the bar stool should be.

I like this a lot, but it wouldn’t go with anything else I have.

It fits well if your kitchen is the last sound of modern fit up. It looks a little bit futuristic but also elegant.

This is exactly what we did when we were looking for stools. It is important to get the right size bar stool when shopping for them.
I have more modern stools too. The thing I like about mine is that they are adjustable. This way adults and children can use them and alway have them the perfect height.
