Outdoor counter height stools and what fits
Outdoor counter height stools are made for counters about 36 inches high. A seat roughly 2 feet off the ground leaves about a foot of knee room under the counter.
The overall heights on this page run 35.5 to 45 inches, which includes the backrest. Most are counter height, and some are bar height, so read each listing before you match a stool to a counter.
Outdoor wicker counter stools and other materials
Most outdoor wicker counter stools here use resin wicker, a synthetic weave, over an aluminum, steel or iron frame. Metal frames are common across the page, and some stools use solid acacia wood.
Aluminum does not rust, which suits a covered bar near a pool. Iron and steel frames do best with a dry spot in winter, and wood stools benefit from a cover between uses.
Outdoor counter stools with backs or backless
Outdoor counter stools with backs give more support for long evenings. Some models are backless, which tuck fully under the counter and save space.
Pick a back if guests will sit for a while, and backless if the counter sits in a tight spot.
Outdoor counter stool cushions and set sizes
Some outdoor counter stools here are sold in sets, such as 2 or 4, so one order can cover an island or a small bar. Some sets include cushions, while others have woven or fabric seats.
Wipe fabric and cushions with mild soap and water, let them dry completely, and bring cushions indoors during long rainy spells.
Outdoor counter height bar stools versus bar height
Counter height stools and bar height stools are not the same. Bar height stools suit counters near 42 inches, while counter height stools suit counters near 36 inches.
Some stools on this page are listed as bar height, so measure your counter first. Allow about 24 inches of width per stool so guests are not shoulder to shoulder.
