Contract Bar Stools
Bar stools that hold up to a full service
A bar stool takes more abuse than any other seat in a venue. It is climbed onto, leaned back on, and kicked by the footrest all night. We build stools for that, at the heights bars are actually built to.
Counter height and bar height are not the same order
The single most common specification error we see is a stool ordered at the wrong seat height for the counter it will sit at. Counter and bar heights differ by a meaningful margin, and the gap between seat and underside of the counter decides whether the stool is comfortable or unusable. Tell us the counter height and we will confirm the seat height before anything is cut.
The footrest carries the load
On a bar stool the footrest is structural, not a detail. It takes constant downward force and repeated impact from shoes, and it is where cheap stools mark, bend and eventually loosen. Ours are specified as load-bearing and finished to take the scuffing — a metal footrest in a busy bar is a wear surface and should be treated as one.
Swivel, return, fixed — chosen for the room
Swivel suits a bar where people turn to talk; fixed suits tight counter runs where a rotating stool becomes an obstacle. We will tell you which one the layout wants, including when the honest answer is the cheaper option.

Frequently asked questions
- What seat height do I need for a bar stool?
- It is set by the counter, not by the stool. Send us the finished counter height and we will confirm the correct seat height — getting this wrong is the most common and most expensive specification error on a bar project.
- Are your bar stools suitable for outdoor terraces?
- Some are, with the right frame and finish specification. Ask us for the specific piece rather than assuming — an indoor finish on a covered terrace in a coastal climate will not last, and we would rather say so up front.
- Can bar stools match the chairs in the same venue?
- Yes. Most of our seating families run across chair and stool heights in the same design language, so a bar and its dining room can be visually consistent without being identical.
