Bar stool height depending on rack dimensions, sitting height

In recent years, bar racks and chairs have been widely used. This is due to the modern design of the room or the desire to save usable space. They are comfortable, occupy a minimum of space - an ideal solution for a small cafe or kitchen. When choosing a suitable kit, not only the height of the bar stool is important, but also its design, design, workmanship and room parameters. The piece of furniture should look good and be comfortable.

Standard dimensions in accordance with GOST

GOST is important in the ratio of furniture dimensions. For example, if the countertop on the client side is 110 cm, then a chair height of 75 cm is suitable. If the bar counter is installed at home, then you need to pay attention to the pose in which the owners usually sit, their average height. If it happens in a bar, then you should consider the position of the bartenders during work. The experience of using such structures allowed us to calculate the standard height of the bar stool in cm:

for the bartender - 90;
for customers - from 115 to 135.

For bartenders

For clients

For catering establishments, the interstate regulation is set in two meanings:

85 (Bh) - suitable for counter racks (from 110 to 115 centimeters);
95 (Th) - preferred for tall structures (120 to 130 cm).

If furniture is made to order, then other values are possible.

The remaining parameters depend on the specific place where the furniture will be located, and who plans to operate it. The standard sizes of a bar stool correspond to a certain fixed height. Such a seat usually has a strong frame made of metal or wood, four legs and a cross bar for legs. There are a great many design options, so it will not be difficult to choose an interior item for the design of the room and make up the perfect set.

Dimensions of a bar stool depending on model

Not always the classic "four-legged" is suitable for a rack. Sometimes space saving or an unusual design is required. There are several models of bar stools: solid, adjustable, folding and semi-bar.

Growth is crucial when choosing. If a person is much shorter or taller than average height, it is better to purchase adjustable products with a lifting mechanism, especially for homes with children or often guests.

The disadvantages of the folding option are:

the presence of only one leg, which does not guarantee perfect stability;
the lifting mechanism will last about a year with frequent use (it is undesirable to operate it while sitting on a chair);
not all dimensions of models are suitable for full people;
it is important that such a chair does not become entertainment for the child, otherwise it will quickly fail.

On average, folding furniture seats drop to 51 cm and rise by 79 cm.

A convenient folding bar stool is designed to save space; you can easily fold the structure and fit it into a narrow small niche. Even a child is able to handle this. Such models can not be adjusted in height, so when choosing you need to focus on the countertop. They are traditionally made of wood and metal using various inserts, for example, plastic, plywood, rattan and vines. These products come in one, three or four legs.

Solid models are good in a family where everyone has about the same height, so you do not need to constantly adjust the height of the bar stool. If there is no zoning in the design, and the floor in the kitchen is everywhere the same level, then this is the best choice.

Half-bar models - suitable for the kitchen, where it is not planned to focus on the food area. In order not to be mistaken in size, it is enough to make simple calculations. The seat should be just above the middle of the bar - this is a great option for eating, socializing and working. For a living room, a half-bar chair from 60 to 70 cm high is suitable if the countertop is at the level of 90-95 cm from the floor.

The design of the back is also important. A well-chosen element will contribute to muscle relaxation and allows you to spend time with family and friends. Like any products with a backrest, you need to choose a chair individually, guided by considerations of convenience.

How to choose the right height

Before choosing a seat, you need to decide on the rack. At home, they use a bar table no more than 90 cm from the floor so that it does not stand out against the background of the interior, so the height of the chair, taking into account average human height, should be about 60 cm. It is also necessary to pay attention to the composition of users. Too low a stand is not too high, and it will be inconvenient for a full one to huddle at a short table. A free-standing rack can have a different height, depending on which the seating parameters are selected:

Rack height, cm	Chair height without back (from floor to landing point), cm
89-94	58-71
104-109	74-81
112-119	84-92

For other varieties of construction, the ratio will be slightly different:

Countertop Option	Rack height, cm	Chair height, cm
Countertop in the kitchen	85-90	58-60
Rack-kitchen table	90	60

The height of the bar is directly related to the chairs, the difference between them should be from 25 to 30 cm for maximum comfort:

the classic model of the bar table has a width of 55 cm, and the distance from the floor is 105;
when combined with the headset, the width is 88 cm, the rise from the floor is 91;
if the bar is separate, then its dimensions are most often 130 cm from the floor, and the width is 120;
if the furniture is made to order, it is important to focus on its tasks, growth and composition of family members.

Today, the choice of models of bar counters and chairs for them is simply huge. They are different in design, colors, made of different materials. A wide range is able to satisfy even the most demanding tastes.
