How Wooden Bar Stools & Kitchen Stools Work
The beauty of wooden bar stools lies in their brilliant simplicity and thoughtful engineering. Most commercial models feature four-legged designs with sturdy cross-bracing underneath, distributing weight evenly to prevent wobbling. The seats typically range from 30-36cm in diameter—wide enough for comfort without hogging space. Height is crucial: standard bar stools measure 74-76cm from floor to seat for standard bar heights (105-110cm), while counter stools sit lower at 60-66cm for kitchen counters (90cm). Many models incorporate subtle footrests positioned at the perfect height, giving customers somewhere to perch their feet for hours of comfortable socializing!

Top Tips for Using Wooden Bar Stools & Kitchen Stools
To keep your wooden stools in top condition, wipe spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly to prevent moisture damage. Apply furniture wax every 3-6 months to maintain the finish and protect the wood. Check joints and screws quarterly, tightening as needed to prevent wobbling. For heavy-use areas, consider using wooden floor protectors under stool legs to avoid scratching your floors, and position stools with adequate spacing (about 65cm from center to center) to give customers comfortable elbow room.
