Check the fit in your space

  1. Measure from the floor to the underside of the counter, bar or apron where your knees will sit.
  2. Compare that measurement with the listed seat height and allow comfortable legroom for the people using the stool.
  3. If you want the arms to slide underneath, compare the arm height with the lowest obstruction.
  4. Use the listed width and depth to plan spacing and the route behind occupied stools.
