Across many interior styles and regional influences, barstools have become a staple not just in restaurants, but modern homes and entertainment spaces alike. They add practicality and style in a slim package while being portable enough to use just about anywhere. With our large selection of The Urban Port barstools, you can choose anything from a rustic wooden barstool to a vintage-inspired design. Whether you're furnishing a kitchen island, home bar, or a multi-use entertainment space, the right barstools can elevate your space’s aesthetic and comfort.
Endless Designs & Styles
The Urban Port’s collection of barstools is available in a wide range of styles and silhouettes that can be suited for any home, the most common being a standard backless barstool. They are the sleekest of the bunch with their space-saving design that allows them to be tucked under counters or into corners. Barstools with backs, on the other hand, offer back support for prolonged use but are still slim and portable.
But if you want a little bit more convenience and mobility, a swivel barstool is a great choice. They offer better ease of access, making them easier to dismount and turn around to talk to others, which is especially useful in social settings. Arms and cushioned seats are also available for many styles, offering a better experience for meals and extended conversation. There are also backless barstools for small spaces, offering even better mobility and freedom.
Speaking of freedom – keep an eye out for our adjustable barstools for kitchen island, bartop, or countertop needs.
Quality Materials
Quality materials and superior construction are what give The Urban Port barstools and other furniture an edge over other manufacturers. This is why their modern barstools are always crafted from high-grade materials that are aesthetically pleasing and durable. Wood is one of the most charming materials with its rustic appearance and grainy texture, making it a classic option that fits into a range of interior styles.
Metal barstools, on the other hand, are a bit more contemporary and industrial but just as durable as wood, with some extra weight. Upholstered stools provide a more comfortable seating experience and an upscale appearance, making them a safe option for those who prioritize comfort. But for those who want a coastal or boho style stool that also works great outdoors, you can’t go wrong with a rattan barstool.
Height Options
One of the most important factors when selecting barstools for your space is choosing the right height for your counter or bartop. Below are a few guidelines to follow when shopping for stools in order to get the perfect fit.
-
Counter Height Barstool: Measures between 24 and 26 inches, ideal for standard 3-foot counters, kitchen islands, etc.
-
Bar Height Stools: Measures between 28 and 30 inches, best for bar counters measuring 40 to 45 inches.
-
Adjustable Height Stools: Suitable for almost all counter heights.
When setting up stools, make sure to leave 9-12” between the seat and the bottom of the counter for better leg comfort.
Are Swivel Barstools Better Than Fixed Ones?
While both swivel and traditional barstools inherently have the same uses, their practicality may differ slightly. Swivel stools offer easier movement and are great for social areas where people may need to get on and off their stools frequently. This is not to say they are not practical in a house or apartment. Conversely, traditional stools are fixed and have a simpler design, and in turn offer more stability.
How Much Space Should I Leave Between Stools?
A good rule of thumb when setting up your stools is to leave between 18 and 24 inches of space between seats for comfortable seating.
How Many Stools Can Fit At My Counter Or Bar?
If you leave the standard 18-24 inches between stools, you should be able to calculate roughly how many stools will fit below your countertop or table. For example, if you have a counter that measures about 6 feet long, it should be able to comfortably accommodate about 3 stools with elbow room to spare.
