			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1564" title="kitchen stool" src="http://www.directkitchenremodeling.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/kitchen-stool.jpg" alt="kitchen stool" width="143" height="274" />So you’ve got that new <a title="kitchen island" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/Kitchen.aspx" target="_blank">kitchen island</a> or bar <a title="counter top" href="http://www.directkitchenremodeling.com/counters.aspx" target="_blank">counter top</a> and you need the perfect stools to match.  It is just as important to choose a stool of the right height as it is in the right style.</p>
<h3>Get the Right Kitchen Stools to Fit Your Needs</h3>
<p>Stool heights can range from 24” to 30”.  A good rule of thumb is the seat of the stool should be approximately 10” lower than the countertop.  You should take measurements to ensure you are getting the correct height based on the distance from your floor to the countertop.</p>
<p>Also take into consideration how far the countertop overlaps the cabinet base.  You want to allow for plenty of legroom and possible a stool rung on which you can rest your feet and not have them dangling down uncomfortably.   Add beautiful new stationary or swivel stools at just the right height for a comfortable seat at your new bar or countertop.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Kitchen Furniture makes your kitchen comfortable and stylish. When choosing stools for your kitchen island or kitchen bar, be sure to select stools of the right height for optimal comfort.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Determining the right stool height for your new kitchen island or bar is pretty important.  You certainly don’t want to be sitting with your elbows higher than your shoulders nor do you want your knees driving into the underside of the counter edge.</p>
<p>There are bar stools and there are counter stools.  Make sure you purchase the correct stool for your setting.  First, measure from the floor up to the base of the counter surface.  A standard kitchen island counter is 35-36 inches in height whereas the standard bar counter is 40-42 inches high.  A counter stool is 24-26 inches high and a bar stool is 28-30 inches high.</p>
<p>You can buy the most beautiful stools in the world but if they aren’t comfortable, who will want to gather around your counter.  Make sure you have the correct height measurements prior to purchasing your stools.  You can then have beauty and comfort in the kitchen.</p>
<p>When you’re remodeling and refurnishing your kitchen, make sure you choose kitchen stools of the right height to provide comfort and convenience for your kitchen island or your kitchen bar.</p>
