When browsing bar stools, keep in mind that there are many height options available, which can make it tough to choose the right height and style for your space. Whether you choose fixed-height or an adjustable bar stool may be determined by your space and who will be sitting in it. It is important to consider all these factors as you shop - where it is going, who is sitting in it, and what your space requires.
Start by measuring the height of your counter or table; this will help you decide which general height you should shop for. The area between the seat and the counter is your thigh and leg room, so make sure it is sufficient for maximum comfort. As a general rule of thumb, you should aim for 8-12" of space between the seat top and the counter or bar surface. Remember that bar stool heights are taken from the floor up to the top of the seat, not to the top of the seat back (on models with backs).

Fixed-Height Bar Stools
These usually come in three categories: counter height, 24-29" tall for spaces 34-40" tall; bar height, 30-36" tall for spaces 40-46" tall; and extra tall, 34-36" tall for spaces 44-46" tall. Another option available to you is table height, which offers the same look and feel of a regular stool but optimized for dining table seating since the stools are around 18-24" tall.
Adjustable Bar Stools
These are a great multipurpose choice and offer more versatility. If your space will be used by a lot of people - tall people, short people, kids, teens, adults - it may be ideal to opt for this type of stool. It's a perfect solution since each person can adjust to their perfect height. This type of stool is very easy to use - it features a lever that controls a small hydraulic chamber in the central shaft, allowing the seat to raise or lower as needed.
Bar Stool Spacing
Another measurement to keep in mind along with the height is how much space you want to plan for between each stool. This measurement will determine how many you will want to buy. Standard placement allows for 26-30" of space, measured from the centers of each seat, so that people sitting can have adequate space to come and go, move around, and socialize. At the end of the bar, 8-14" is generally a decent amount of space to aim for from the edge of the counter top to the center of the last seat.
