The label bar height is not enough. Record the actual seat and surface dimensions for the proposed pairing.

Immediate guidance

What a completed decision should establish.

Counter height and bar height are retail labels, not specifications. Use the actual finished surface and proposed stool dimensions.

01

Record actual seat and surface heights

Measure from finished floor to the top of the seat and surface. Include top thickness, apron, counter construction, and any floor transition.

02

Check the complete stool footprint

Arms, back, swivel, base spread, footrest, chair movement, and aisle conditions can disqualify a stool that appears to have the right height.

03

Provide an accessible alternative

Stools do not satisfy accessible dining or work-surface requirements by themselves. Verify the applicable surface, knee space, clear floor, and route conditions separately.

How to use the worksheet

Turn blank fields into controlled decisions.

Measure the actual surface

Finished floor, top thickness, apron, and counter construction determine usable height.

Check movement

Swivel, arms, footrests, backs, and base spread change clearance and durability needs.

Confirm accessible alternatives

Applicable dining and work-surface requirements are not satisfied by stool selection alone.
