Counter stools are tall seating options designed to be used at kitchen islands or counters. They typically have a height that allows them to fit comfortably under a standard counter, which is usually 34 to 36 inches high. Counter stools come in various styles, materials, and colors, making them versatile for different home decors. These stools often feature a footrest for added comfort and can be either stationary or swivel. Many designs include padded seats for extra cushioning, while others may have a minimalist look with metal or wooden frames. Counter stools are popular for casual dining and socializing in modern homes.
