How tall should a bar countertop be?

1 Answer
How tall should a bar countertop be?
A standard bar countertop is usually 41 to 43 inches from the floor. A bar height is taller than typical table and counter heights and requires specific seating to best suit the height. The ideal height for a bar chair or stool is 29 to 32 inches tall. Browse a selection of bar furniture on 1stDibs.
