Selecting the right bar stool height can make or break your kitchen island or home bar experience. Too high and it feels cramped; too low and you’re reaching for your plate. At Satara, we’ve crafted this guide to simplify the process – helping you find the perfect fit, form, and finish for your home.

Grab a tape measure and start from the floor to the top of your benchtop:
Kitchen Counters (≈ 90 cm high) → choose 66 cm stools
Bar or High Tables (≈ 105 cm high) → choose 75 cm stools
Allow 25–30 cm of legroom between the seat and benchtop for comfortable dining.
Pro tip: If you have a stone waterfall island, measure both inner and outer edges – the drop lip can change usable height.
