So How High is the Bar?

Bar tops, Bar counters, Bar-tables, Pub tables, just about anything made for standing at “Bar Height” is 42″. Using the same ‘rule of thumb’ of 12″ clearance between table top and seat top; Standard Bar Stools and Bar Chairs are 30″ tall.

Short Bar Stools

When you make custom furniture you have the ability to make it just about any size needed. For short bar seating, maintain the standard dimensions for chairs of 16″ – 18″. Once the seat height of your bar stools or bar chair exceeds 18″ you will need to add the footrest.

Bar stools can easily be ‘re-sized’ for use at just about any table or counter-top.

‘Short-stack’ 24″ Bar Stools made for 36″ Tables or counter tops.

24″ inch tall bar-stools are the ideal height for most 35″ to 38″ kitchen counters.

The Log Bar Chair

Log Bar Chairs are smaller, taller, versions of log chairs incorporating a footrest for comfort at what would be floor height on a standard chair. Because of their size and weight, most Bar Chairs incorporate swivels to help ease getting in and out of the chair while seated at the bar.
