You should use counter height stools (24-26 inches off the ground) for 36 inch counter seating, standard bar height stools (30 inch) for standard 42 inch bars, and Extra Tall Bar stools (34 to 36 inches) for 46-48 Inch Bar-to-Floor Counter Heights. They are also architecturally appealing for any space, including Olde English pubs, country classic, and modern or Mission. Pair with matching tables featured on this site. At an extra tall height, these are perfect for many custom bars. Leather is an amazing natural material that's suitable even for busy families.
