What Is a Counter Stool?
A counter stool is seating designed for surfaces between 34 and 39 inches high, typically kitchen islands, breakfast bars, or counter-height tables. Standard counter height stool size ranges from 24 to 27 inches from floor to seat, offering a comfortable perch that leaves 9 to 13 inches of legroom beneath the counter.
