I just set up a high-top counter in our office breakroom for casual team syncs, but the bar stools I bought feel way too low. How do I calculate the right seat height so people’s knees aren’t slamming into the frame?
You want to measure from the floor to the absolute underside of your counter or standing desk surface.
A proper office bar chair or draftsman stool needs about 10 to 12 inches of clear space between the top of the seat cushion and the bottom of the tabletop.
Look for a commercial stool equipped with a pneumatic gas lift and an adjustable chrome foot ring so employees of different heights can sit comfortably without their legs dangling awkwardly in the air.
