Because of the huge range of bar stools available, finding the right one for your space can seem like a daunting task. We’ve put together a quick guide to give you all the information you need to know and help you make the right decision.

Choosing the Right Height
Bar stools come in a range of sizes. Narrow down your search by knowing the height you need from the start. First, it's important to note that bar stools are measured from the ground to the seat, not the backrest. Secondly, there are three categories to choose from: residential counter, bar, and low stool heights.
Counter benches in homes tend to be 95cm high, so we recommend a stool height of 66cm. This gives you enough room to get your knees comfortably below the counter. Bar heights in cafes and bars are commonly 105cm, so choose a bar stool with a 76cm height. Low stools, at 46cm in height, work well with standard cafe tables. For dry bar tables, pair them with a 76cm stool.
What’s Your Style?
Your decision should be based on your theme and décor, and it's often a personal choice. Styles to consider include classic, industrial, contemporary, and rattan.
If you want a stool that will never go out of fashion, bentwood stools are easily recognizable and iconic. Thanks to different timber stains, you'll find a classic bentwood stool that suits your space. Industrial style is still popular, and many people favor Tolix Stool with Back for this theme. Made from steel with a powder-coated finish in various colors, they’re a popular choice.
Contemporary stools are often minimalist in style and color, featuring sleek lines and simple angles. They fit well in modern spaces and often have light, blonde timber seats. Rattan stools add a touch of Parisian flair and evoke feelings of warmth and fun to your space.
Wood, Metal, or Plastic
Cafe stools can be made from wood, metal, or even polypropylene or resin. Consider whether your stools will have backrests and arms, as these offer more comfort but take up more room. If space is limited, opt for backless, armless stools. Upholstery is another factor; a padded seat adds more comfort. If you choose this option, consider a seat cushion that's washable or easily wiped down.

Type of Floor the Stool is Going On
Protective measures depend on your floor type. For timber or polished concrete floors, use felt-covered nylon stoppers to prevent scratches and scrapes. For carpeted floors, a simple nylon stopper will suffice.
These are the basics to consider when choosing bar stools. Also, ensure you purchase commercial stools as these are designed to withstand the rigors of a bustling environment.
Just got these and they were easy to put together; only four screws to add the back of the chair. They came nicely packaged and in great shape. They're not copper but darker as shown in pictures and other descriptions.
I highly recommend starting with one side just enough to hold, then working clockwise around the chair until you end up on the last side. Only screw in enough to hold in place, then tighten all the screws. This definitely makes for the easiest assembly because you can pull on the chair back and align all the holes better! I LOVE that the footrest bars are welded and that these do not swivel! My old stools with a screwed-in ring footrest and swivel chairs eventually broke. These seem sturdy and comfy, looking forward to getting a lot of use out of them. I may add a matte protective top coat... will see!
