The Counter Height Stool Reigns Supreme

If you're wondering what a counter height stool is, the answer is relatively easy to explain. Just as the name suggests, it's a stool designed to work in conjunction with your kitchen counter tops. It allows you to sit comfortably and dine at your counter without being too low or too high.

Knowing exactly what counter stool height is can be tough to put an exact number on. In the furniture and kitchen industry a counter stool has a seat height around 24 inches. It may vary from 23 to 26 inches but the industry standard that everything is measured to is 24 inches.

When it comes to the actual counter tops, the heights are usually somewhere between 34 and 36 inches from the floor. You should allow 10 to 14 inches of room from the top of the stool seat to the underside of the counter for leg room. Having this amount of clearance will give you lots of comfortable space while sitting on your counter height stools.

It's important to remember that all heights are measured from the floor to the top of the seat. They aren't measured to the full height of the backs of the stools. These stool seats are generally 6 inches higher then any standard kitchen chair.

Counter stool height for eating and entertaining is quickly becoming a very common and increasing popular thing. So get yourself into the loop with everyone else and while giving the counter height stool the respect it deserves. Add some to your home today
