Choosing a Single Bar Stool

A single bar stool is a flexible option when you need an extra seat, a replacement, or a standalone piece for a compact space. It’s ideal for mixing into an existing setup or for areas where only one stool is needed, such as a small breakfast bar or corner bench.

Explore a range of styles including adjustable bar stools, swivel bar stools, wooden bar stools, and PU leather bar stools to suit your space and style.

Where Single Bar Stools Work Best

Single bar stools are perfect for smaller spaces, apartments, and kitchens where only one seat is required. They’re also useful as an additional stool alongside an existing set, helping you adapt your seating to suit changing needs.

If you're planning a full seating setup, you may prefer a set of 2 bar stools, set of 3 bar stools, or set of 4 bar stools for a more coordinated look.

Choosing the Right Height

To ensure a comfortable fit, measure from the floor to the underside of your benchtop and allow around 25–30cm between the seat and the underside of your bench.

Most standard kitchen benches suit counter height bar stools, while taller surfaces require bar height stools. For added flexibility, adjustable bar stools allow you to easily customise the height.

Style, Comfort and Everyday Use

When choosing a single bar stool, consider how it will be used. Bar stools with backrest provide extra support for longer sitting periods, while swivel and gas lift designs offer ease of movement and versatility.

PU leather bar stools are a practical option for easy cleaning and maintenance, while wooden bar stools add warmth and natural texture to your space.
