Round Up of Counter Stools Done Right
You’ve got a show stopping kitchen island that has that perfect quartz counter top (that you and your designer searched and searched for just the right look).
It is also either gigantic or curvy or multi-leveled or multi finished, but no matter how spectacular your kitchen island is, it is not complete without the right counter height stool.
Our projects have us selecting stools for kitchen islands all the time and there are many, many options. Unfortunately, I see over and over common mistakes made when you (and even designers) are selecting stools.
One mistake I often see people make is getting tiny stools that could never be comfortable (and not a butt will fit – ever) and are certainly not the right scale.
Another big mistake people make is getting the incorrect height. A counter-height stool will fit under a normal height counter of 36”, whereas a bar stool will fit under a counter that is 42” in height (like a bar!).
Here is a round up of some exceptional stools that are available only To-The-Trade, but I am giving you a link to shop for them exclusively.
