Bar Stools FAQs
What height bar stool do I need?
Most kitchen islands suit bar stools with a seat height of approximately 65cm, while higher counters often suit 75cm stools. For the best fit, measure from the floor to the underside of the benchtop and allow around 25–30cm between the seat and counter surface.
What is a gas lift bar stool?
A gas lift bar stool uses a gas lift mechanism to provide smooth seat height adjustment. This allows the stool height to be adjusted for different kitchen islands, counters and users.
Why choose an adjustable height bar stool?
Adjustable height bar stools provide greater flexibility than fixed-height stools, particularly for different bench and counter heights. Many gas lift models also feature 360° swivel functionality for easier movement. Explore our Terri Gas Lift Swivel Bar Stool for an adjustable swivel design.
Are swivel bar stools practical?
Yes. Swivel bar stools allow easier movement when sitting down, getting up or turning between a kitchen island and surrounding space. Selected models combine 360° swivel functionality with adjustable gas lift height.
Are solid timber bar stools durable?
Yes. Solid timber bar stools made from hardwoods such as ash, oak and walnut provide strong, stable construction for everyday use. Fixed-height timber stools also have fewer moving components than adjustable gas lift designs.
What is the difference between timber and gas lift bar stools?
Solid timber bar stools typically use a fixed seat height and timber frame, while gas lift bar stools allow the seat height to be adjusted and often include swivel functionality. Timber stools are available with timber, upholstered and woven seats, while adjustable gas lift stools provide greater flexibility for different counter heights.
