Restaurant Bar Stool Buying Guide

Restaurant bar stools make an undeniable statement about your venue's style, and our selection offers a variety of seat materials, back styles and frame heights for customized versatility. With endless choices in restaurant bar height stools, we want to make sure you find the best style for your space. These recommendations address some key decisions that should help you narrow down your choice.

Finding the Right Size

Picking the right stool height for your venue is important, whether you need extra-tall, bar-height or restaurant counter-height bar stools. Determine which height works best with your space and tables, bar or counter in just three steps:

1. Measure: Take a measurement of your bar, table or counter from the floor to the underside of the surface. See the following section for more information about stool heights.
2. Determine quantity: Figure out the number of restaurant bar stools you'll need. Follow industry standards that allow 24 to 30 inches of space between the stools, so patrons will have plenty of room.
3. Pick features and style: Choose from stools with or without backs, with or without armrests, and more.

Pairing Restaurant Bar Stools with Tables

Find the perfect fit for your restaurant with our selection of bar stools seats in a range of sizes. Factoring which bar stools will comfortably seat your patrons will largely depend on your table heights. Built for heavy use, our selection of restaurant bar stools come in the following sizes:

• Counter-height: Our 28-inch counter-height bar stools pair well with table heights between 35 to 37 inches.
• Bar-height: For table heights measuring 41 to 43 inches, opt for 29-inch bar stools, 30-inch bar stools, 31-inch bar stools, or 32-inch bar stools.
• Extra-tall: Pair 33-inch bar stools with tables and bars taller than 44 inches.

Selecting the Appropriate Seat Width

When it comes to selecting the right width for your bar stool seats, consideration for comfort is key. While going with smaller seat sizes may allow you to fit more stools at your counter or bar, a larger size may offer a more comfortable experience for your guests. Whatever you decide on, make sure you leave at least 24 inches of space between seating.

Restaurant Bar Stool Styles

In addition to a range of bar stool heights, we also carry wholesale restaurant stools in a selection of stylish designs. Shop backless bar stools for a comfortable, relaxed feel that's perfect for casual spaces, or browse bar stools with backs for a supportive seat that's great for drinking and dining. For easy maneuvering in and out of the seat, restaurant swivel bar stools make an ultra-convenient option.

Choosing Between Wood or Metal Bar Stools

Most restaurant bar stools come with either wood or metal frames. Wood bar stools are a great choice if you prefer more of a traditional look. Made from top-quality hardwoods, these stools come in multiple colors to suit your existing décor. Metal bar stools deliver the same comfort and stability with a sleek, modern touch. All our metal bar stools are durable enough to withstand high-traffic businesses while still providing a comfortable place for patrons to sit.
