What to Look for in a Bar Stool?
Bar stools provide elegant, cozy seating that is always in vogue. They look sophisticated right away and work well for counter-height tables, breakfast bars, and kitchen islands. But not every bar stool is made equal.
There are several alternatives available, including bar-height or counter-height, backless or backrest, and fixed or swivel bar stools with backs. To guarantee the ideal fit, however, you must know what height you’re going for before buying. You then get to the exciting phase of choosing a style you adore.
Don’t worry if this seems like a lot of work for some bar stools. All you need to do is measure your table or countertop because we’ve already done the research for you. To make your job easier, our Colder’s team has included a list of some of the top bar stools with backs available on the market.
Find the Right Bar Stool for Your Home
Bar StoolsBar Stool vs. Counter Stool: What’s The Difference?
One of the most frequent errors individuals make when furnishing their dining room or home bar is selecting the incorrect height. This is due to the distinction between counter stools, commonly referred to as counter-height bar stools, and bar stools.
There are bar stools, counter stools, and different heights within each category. There are also adjustable bar stools; however, these typically make finding a fit simpler rather than harder.
Your dining chairs or bar stools with backs should have a seat height that is 10 to 13 inches less than the height of your table or countertop for comfortable seating. This gives the chair room to move around and accommodate sitting comfortably.

Height
Remember that 24” counter stools will serve just fine unless you have a high-top table in your home. Outdoor bar stools with backs are normally 30 inches in height. In general, make sure your measurements are accurate and avoid ordering a chair that is too tall.
Back or No Back?
Since sitting in discomfort for a lengthy period of time is terrible and hunching over doesn’t help your posture, we strongly advise choosing bar stools with backs.
Seat Cushion
Depending on how long you want to spend perched on the barstools, you might want to look for padded or cushioned barstools for increased comfort.
Matching Wood Finish
Consider the other wood finishes in the kitchen while shopping for wood bar stools with backs (i.e., the cabinets and hardwood flooring). Choose a wood that is darker or lighter for greater contrast or matches the finish for a unified appearance.
How Many are in Each Set?
Check the number of seats that come with each set for a second. While most transactions are made singly, some sets sold in twos or fours are a complete steal. Additionally, having synchronized seating is a good idea!
FAQs
Although we’ve covered a lot of territory regarding bar stools with backs, our Milwaukee customers have undoubtedly still had some unanswered questions.
What are the best types of bar stools?
What’s best for your home depends on your design preferences, financial situation, practical requirements, and available space. A bar stool is made more comfortable by features like upholstered upholstery, stools with backs and armrests, and a swivel.
How much should I spend on bar stools with backs?
Your needs and the purpose of the seats will determine how much you should spend on bar stools. We advise investing in comfort and design if the bar stools are placed where they will be viewed and used frequently. Spending less on less-used areas, such as a secondary bar, where bar chairs can be hidden under the counters, might be advised.
