Backless Counter Stools have seat heights in the 24-27 inch range. 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. Too often, people buy "bar stools" - and then, their legs will not fit under the counter. Check where you plan to put these first and please read our Seat Height Guide.
