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 Type | Counter Height | Recommended Stool Height |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Counter | 36 inches | 24-26 inches (counter height) |
| Bar/ Pub Table | 40-42 inches | 28-32 inches (bar height) |
| Extra Tall Bar | 44-48 inches | 33-36 inches (extra tall) |
| Dining Table | 28-30 inches | 23 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.
