• 24 inches is a standard height for a counter stool.  24 inch stools work best at 36 inch counters.  Most breakfast bars are also 36 inches.  Many restaurants have low counters that would also work with a 24 inch stool.

• 30 inches is the most common height for a standard bar stool.  30 inch bar stool primarily go with 42 inch bars or 42 inch high boy tables.

• Anything above 30 inches is not standard.  Often these taller bar stools, typically 34-36 inches are used in homes with extra tall counters or in game rooms with billiards.
