Set of 2 White Ladder Back Swivel Bar Stools with Round Grey Seat, 30.5 Inch Seat Height

At 30.5 in the seat is above most people's hip. Climbing on means one foot hunting for a rail while the other leaves the ground, which is where tall stools tip.

The footrest is a steel ring 14 in off the floor that runs the whole way round the legs. There is a rail under your foot from any angle of approach, and the same ring holds the four legs together.

Where 30.5 inches belongs

Thirty and a half inches is bar height. Against a 40 in to 43 in top that leaves 10 in to 12.5 in of knee room. Under a 36 in kitchen counter these would be far too tall.

Four numbers to plan around

Forty four inches overall, 30.5 in to the seat, 14 in to the ring and a 19.5 in base on the floor. The base width matters more at this height than it does on a counter stool.

What holds a tall seat up

Under the round cushion there is an X shaped reinforcement across the swivel plate. A tall stool loads that joint every time somebody climbs on from the side.

What we stand behind

• The 30.5 in seat height, the 44 in overall height and the 14 in foot ring come from this listing's own drawing.
• The product name carries both sizes, 25 inches and 30.5 inches. This listing is the 30.5 in option and the drawing confirms it.
• The drawing on this listing does not print an intended bar height. The 40 in to 43 in figure here comes from published stool height guidance, not from the manufacturer.
• The 350 lb rating is the manufacturer's stated maximum load, from a rig test.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Which size is this listing?

The 30.5 in seat, which is bar height. The 25 in counter version is a separate listing.

What bar height suits it?

Around 40 in to 43 in. That comes from general stool height guidance, since this listing's drawing does not print a range. Subtract 10 in to 12 in from your bar top and see whether 30.5 in is close.

Will it work at a 36 inch island?

No. A 30.5 in seat under a 36 in counter leaves about 5.5 in of knee room.

How high is the footrest?

Fourteen inches from the floor, which is 16.5 in below the seat.
