Editor's Notes
September 16, 2020:
Typically taller than a dining chair and smaller than a bar stool, these counter height chairs have a seat height of 24-29 inches and should allow for about 10 inches of legroom. Measuring the height of the counter will help you choose the most suitable chair, or an adjustable option will give versatility and are great for growing children who may need a higher seat to start. The chairs selected for this ranking come in a variety of materials and styles to suit your home decor and kitchen furniture.
Often these types of chairs have a single leg design that allows them to be adjusted in height and gives them an eye-catching silhouette. The Flash Furniture Madrid stands out due to its all-metal construction and range of finishes, however, it doesn't have a cushioned seat or a backrest and may become uncomfortable. The Halter Modern Airlift and the Maison Mid-back have comfortable cushioning and backrests and the latter is available in a range of upholstery and colors.
Four-legged options usually have a wooden frame, plush upholstery, and are more sturdy. The HomePop Parsons has solid cherry wood legs and a faux leather seat with deep cushions, however, the fabric isn't very hardwearing and scratches easily. The Armen Living Vienna is also made with faux leather upholstery and its legs and seat are made from walnut with nice a graining pattern, giving this chair a high-quality finish. The Belleze Wingback is a fully upholstered option that sports button tufted linen in grey or beige, and sits upon a sturdy rubberwood frame. The Ashley Valebeck mixes industrial with traditional by blending real wood and black metal to create an eye-catching piece of furniture. The Ashley Centiar and the Ashley Kavara incorporate full powder-coated metal frames for strength and stability. The latter of which is rather unique, as it is designed to seat two persons.
