36 Inch Bar Stools
Why You Might Need One -
Historically most kitchen and bar counter tops in the home were built at a height of 40-44 inches,
which makes a 30 inch bar stool the right height for comfort whether you’re trying to eat lunch, enjoy a
glass of wine, or just leaning on the counter top in casual conversation. However, home builders today are
featuring countertops and islands at 45 to 48 inches. And since you need about 12 inches between the barstool
seat and the bottom of the counter to sit comfortable a 36 inch bar stool is just right.
A 30 bar stool has been the standard for years simply because it’s the right height for
the average person to sit comfortably. But if your 6’2" inches or taller, you’re not the average person and a 30
bar stool isn’t going to be comfortable. A 36 bar stool or perhaps even a 34 bar stool is a much better option
if you want to be able to sit comfortably for an extended period of time.
36 Inch Bar Stools
Options to Consider -
Once you decide on the right bar stool height, in this case 36 inches, then you have a couple of other options
to choose from while shopping.
One of the first most noticeable decisions you have to make is "back" or "backless." For most people who are
going to be sitting for anything more than a few minutes then backless really isn’t an option – it just isn’t going
to be comfortable. Some people like the look and in some situations a backless bar stool may be the right choice,
but not for most people and most uses.
You may also want to consider a bar stool with arms. If you don’t really have a personal preference from a
visual standpoint then you may want to think about this option from a functional standpoint. It may depend on how
you are going to use your.bar stool. If the answer is primarily for sitting at a bar top or counter top while
eating or drinking – then you probably don’t need arms, and the arms may just get in the way. But if your bar stool
is going to be free standing then you may want to consider a model with arms. But if you want a bar stool with arms
that sits next to your counter top consider a swivel model to make your life a little easier.
36 inch bar stools, back or backless, arms or now arms, swivel or no swivel come in a
variety of designs. You will be able to find a great selection of bar stools and kitchen stools that feature
designs from contemporary to modern and materials from rattan to the sleek looking stainless steel.
You can find bar stool furniture that is upholstered in leather or fabric in a variety of color combinations.
You can also find options like swivel bar stools and adjustable bar stools. You can also find 36 bar stools are
available in broad range of materials from just wood, just metal to wood and metal combinations, wrought iron,
stainless steel and so much more.
