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.

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.

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.

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.
