A counter stool is a type of seating designed to be used at a kitchen counter or a bar-height table. Typically taller than standard chairs, these stools provide a comfortable place to sit while enjoying meals or drinks. They often come in various styles, materials, and colors, making them a versatile choice for different interior designs. Most counter stools have a seat height ranging from 24 to 27 inches, which is ideal for counters that are about 36 inches high. Some models feature backrests and armrests for added comfort, while others are backless for a more minimalist look. Popular materials include wood, metal, and upholstered fabrics, allowing for a wide range of aesthetic options.
