To determine the ideal bar stool height, measure the distance from the floor to the underside of your kitchen island or bar counter. Subtract 25-30cm from this measurement to find the appropriate seat height. For a standard kitchen counter height of 89-91cm, a bar stool with a seat height of 61-66cm is usually suitable. For bar counters, which are typically 101-107cm high, opt for bar stools with a seat height of 71-76cm. If your bar is even taller, around 114-122cm, you'll need a bar stool with a seat height of 81-86cm. We offer bar stools with seat heights ranging from 65-69cm. For additional flexibility, consider a gas-lift bar stool, which allows you to adjust the seat height. Always check the product page for specific measurements and dimensions, as some products may differ. For more information visit our blog post.

The best way to clean your bar stool cushions and fabric depends on the material. For most fabrics like velvet, boucle, and general fabric upholstery, regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment helps prevent dust build-up. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild detergent, blotting gently - never rubbing. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the fabric. Faux leather is generally easy to clean with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Allow the area to air dry naturally. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.

The main difference between counter and bar stools lies in their height. Counter stools are typically shorter, designed for kitchen counters or islands which are usually around 90-95cm high. Bar stools are taller, suitable for bars or higher tables, generally around 100-110cm high. When choosing, measure your counter or bar height to ensure the stool is the correct height, allowing around 25-30cm between the seat and the counter/bar top for comfortable seating. You'll find a range of both bar stools and counter stools on our website, and you can filter by height to find the perfect fit.

Gas lift bar stools offer adjustable height, typically ranging from 65-69cm, making them suitable for various counter heights and users. This adaptability is a significant advantage over fixed-height stools. The swivel feature, common in gas lift stools, adds convenience for getting on and off, particularly beneficial for households with children or elderly individuals. The sturdy base, often incorporating a central column, enhances stability, despite the added weight of the lifting mechanism. While gas lift bar stools tend to be heavier and potentially pricier than fixed-height options, the flexibility and added comfort often outweigh these factors.
