Bar Stools

Bar Stools Collection: Frequently Asked Questions

​How do I choose the correct bar stool height for my kitchen island or counter?

​Choosing the right height is essential for comfort and legroom. As a general rule, you want roughly 20cm to 30cm of space between the seat of the stool and the underside of your counter. UK countertops typically fall into two main categories:

• ​Kitchen Counter/Island Height (approx. 90cm high): Requires Counter Stools with a seat height of around 60cm to 66cm. This is the most common setup for modern British kitchen islands.
• ​Bar/Commercial Height (approx. 105cm high): Requires Bar Stools with a seat height of around 75cm to 80cm. These are ideal for dedicated home bars or raised breakfast ledges.

What styles and materials are available in your premium bar stool collection?

​Our curated collection features a rich variety of premium materials and structural designs to match your home's aesthetic:

• ​Upholstered Luxury: Stools finished in rich plush velvets, textured bouclé, or premium buffalo hide leathers, often detailed with classic deep buttoning or modern fluting.
• ​Statement Metals: Robust frames crafted with high-end finishes, including brushed brass, polished gold, matte black iron, and sleek chrome.
• ​Handcrafted Woods: Elegant legs and seats shaped from sustainably sourced solid timbers like oak, walnut, and characterful mango wood.

Should I choose a bar stool with a backrest or a backless design?

​Your choice depends on how you plan to use your seating area:

• ​With Backrests & Armrests: Ideal if your kitchen island is a hub for long family dinners, working from home, or entertaining guests. These offer optimal lumbar support and maximum everyday comfort.
• ​Backless Stools: A fantastic, minimalist option for tight spaces or open-plan living. They can be tucked completely beneath the kitchen island counter when not in use, keeping your floor pathways completely clear.

​Do your luxury bar stools feature floor protectors?

​Yes, protecting your flooring is paramount. Whether you have natural hardwood, premium LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles), or polished concrete, all of our designer bar stools come equipped with integrated, non-slip floor guards. Domed pedestal bases feature protective rubber ring rims beneath the base, while four-legged models are fitted with heavy-duty felt or nylon floor glides to prevent scraping and scuffing.
