One of the first considerations when choosing bar stools is the height. Generally, there are three categories: counter height, bar height, and adjustable. Counter-height stools are ideal for kitchen islands and usually stand between 60-65cm tall, while bar-height stools are taller, around 70-80cm, making them perfect for home bars or pub tables. Adjustable stools, on the other hand, offer versatility with a hydraulic pump to alter the height to your liking.
