What Is a Counter Stool?
A counter stool is a seat designed for surfaces 34 to 36 inches high, typically kitchen islands or breakfast bars, with seat heights ranging from 24 to 27 inches. Unlike bar stools (29 to 32 inches seat height), counter stools provide appropriate ergonomic clearance -- usually 9 to 13 inches between the seat and counter surface -- for standard counter-height dining and food prep areas. The Drake features a 27.5-inch seat height, which pairs with standard 36-inch counters.
