The ideal height of your bar stool

Are you not sure exactly which height bar stool fits your kitchen island or bar table? We understand that very well! That's why we put, of Dimehouse, In this blog you will find out exactly how to find the right height bar stool for comfortable dining for hours!

Measuring is knowing

The bar stool height is determined by 3 factors:

  1. Measure the height to the top of the leaf
  2. Remove 30 cm from this height
  3. View the seat height bar stool

Example: You measure 120 cm from the ground to the top of the kitchen top or bar table top. You subtract 30 cm from this. 120cm - 30cm = 90cm. The ideal seat height of your bar stool is therefore at least 90 cm. Do you really want to get it right? Then the most optimal distance between the height of the seat and the top of the top is 27 to 28 cm.

In this example, your search for bar stools for your kitchen island or bar will start with filtering a minimum bar stool seat height of 90 cm.

NB! Do you have a thick table top? Always check whether there is at least 10 cm between the top of the knee and the bottom of the top when sitting. 

Fixed or adjustable bar stool?

There are also several in our range industrial bar stools available, which you can combine with a industrial bar table. A difference between the bar stools is that they are adjustable in height or fixed. Both types of bar chairs have their advantages and disadvantages. 

Are you sitting at the table with people of different heights? Then one adjustable bar stool maybe something for you. These bar stools are often adjustable in height up to 20 cm. This allows every person to sit very comfortably. 

From there we come straight to the non-adjustable bar stools. These bar stools undergo less wear and tear because they do not have a gas spring and are not continuously adjusted in height. Fixed bar stools are also generally slightly more stable because they stand on 4 legs. Especially in families with young children, this may be a consideration to opt for a fixed bar stool.
