This is advertised as a 26" bar stool but is actually 25" from the floor to the top of the upholstered seat, and and of course when someone is sitting on it, it naturally sinks down to a height of 24".  I was considering trying to exchange it for a taller stool, but my husband, who is a bit shorter than me, likes the height and found it comfortable to sit on, so I decided to keep it.
