Your first consideration must be how tall you want your barstools to be. For seating at a kitchen bench, simply ensure your new barstools are the appropriate height for that surface – this will typically be 30cm between the top of the seat and the bottom of the countertop. The same measurements apply if you already have a bar table.

 

Note that barstools are typically 65cm tall; but you have many more options if you don’t have that starting point. You may require a shorter stool if you’re on the shorter side, or you may need taller stools for people with longer legs.

The seat height of a kitchen stool must be considered prior to selecting the perfect stool for your Hamptons kitchen.

Generally a kitchen bench top is 90cm high and a kitchen stool seat height to suit will need to be around 65cm.
