Bar Stool Specifications

Bar stool specifications refer to the key dimensions, materials, and design features that define a bar stool’s suitability for commercial or residential use. These specifications guide trade buyers in selecting stools that meet ergonomic, functional, and aesthetic requirements. Typical specifications include height, seat size, weight capacity, frame material, and finish. For trade buyers, understanding bar stool specifications is essential for repeatable, specification-ready furniture suitable for hospitality, residential developments, show homes, and commercial interiors.

How It’s Used in Commercial & Trade Interiors

Bar stools are commonly used in hotel bars, restaurant counters, kitchens, home bars, and serviced apartments. Specifications ensure that stools fit appropriately with counter or bar heights (standard bar height: 105–110cm, counter height: 90–95cm), provide comfortable seating, and comply with commercial durability standards. Trade buyers value specifications that allow for consistency across multiple units and rooms, supporting efficient installation and cohesive interior design.

Materials, Design & Build Quality

Bar stools are typically constructed from solid wood, metal, or engineered timber, often paired with upholstered seats in fabric, leather, or vinyl for comfort. Footrests, swivel mechanisms, and adjustable heights may be included for functionality. Trade-grade bar stools prioritise durability, stability, weight capacity, and finish consistency. For hospitality or commercial environments, considerations include robust construction, ease of cleaning, and compliance with fire and safety regulations.

  • Seat Height: Standard bar stools: 75–80cm; counter stools: 65–70cm

  • Overall Height: Dependent on style and adjustable mechanisms
