Wood frames with saddle styling or upholstered seats can add accent to traditional or modern settings as well. With lower profiles, they're also an excellent choice when space is at a premium. This lowered height is usually 5-8 inches less than standard bar stools, and enables you and your family to easily fit under standard counter tops, which are usually 36 inches tall and 1 inch thick. Back design adds shaping and comfort in addition to ample seating. Seating combines support for the back and eye-catching frame.
