What Is the Best Bar Stool Height for a 36-Inch Counter?

My kitchen island is standard height. What stool size works best?

For a 36-inch counter (standard kitchen island height), choose counter-height stools with a seat height of 24 to 26 inches.

Quick Height Guide:

Counter TypeCounter HeightRecommended Stool Height
Standard Counter36 inches24-26 inches (counter height)
Bar/ Pub Table40-42 inches28-32 inches (bar height)
Extra Tall Bar44-48 inches33-36 inches (extra tall)
Dining Table28-30 inches23 inches or less (table height)

The Golden Rule: Leave 10-12 inches between the stool seat and the underside of your counter. This gives comfortable leg room.

Pro Tip: Always measure from floor to seat top—backs and arms don't count in height measurement.
