From classic barstools in oak to contemporary pieces in chromed steel, our pieces offer high quality at decent prices. This lowered height is usually 5-8 inches less than standard bar stools, and enables you and your family to easily fit under standard counter tops, which are usually 36 inches tall and 1 inch thick. Backless counter stools are an aesthetically pleasing choice for open areas. The metallic look of silver is bright and cooling. The shine of a silver-toned finish is an added benefit.
