This enables easy fit and avoids "leg squeeze," a common problem when you get a stool that is too high. For the more traditional we offer wrought-iron and upholstered counter stools. Therefore, counter stools are built to sit around 10-11 inches under the top of that counter, having decreased seat heights of 24-27 inches. Enjoy the clean lines and custom profile without upholstery. Features include solid crafting with firm seating and no upholstery.
