Types & Styles of Dining Stools
There are two main types of dining stools; bar height and counter height. Depending on the space you're furnishing, we'll help you find the proper seating. Bar height stools are taller than their counter height counterparts, though both are more elevated than traditional dining chairs.
Our collection includes a variety of styles for each. Consider where you'll place your new items when looking at dining stools. Measurements are generally industry standard, so taking down some quick numbers before you shop can be incredibly beneficial. For example, dining chairs for countertops are for eating surfaces that range from 36 to 39 inches. You'll need stools ranging from 24 to 26 inches to sit comfortably at a counter height. This leaves enough space to sit without banging your knees and to keep your arms at a comfortable height, with all items easily within reach.
Bar stools are slightly taller. Since the height of bar tops typically ranges from 40 to 42 inches, you'll need a bar stool dining option about 28 to 30 inches tall. We offer both options at Old Time Pottery.
Shop our furniture collection that includes counter height and bar stool options in various styles. You'll find rustic textiles such as all-natural water hyacinth and modern options that feature a faux leather seat and stainless steel base for a look that's both bold and clean. Check out our square metal barstools with a distressed finish for industrial-style spaces. They're a little bit retro with a whole lot of modern twists. Or, if you're looking for elevated dining room chairs with a more traditional feel, you'll find options reminiscent of the French countryside with elegant tufted linen.
Types & Styles of Dining Chairs
If you're looking to replace or add seating around your kitchen or dining table, you'll find more traditional dining chairs at Old Time Pottery, too. Dining chairs sit lower than the former options, with a general measurement of 17 to 20 inches between the top of the seating area and the floor. You'll want to ensure that there are 8 to 14 inches of space from the seat surface to the bottom of your table to provide comfortable seating for everyone.
For an ultra-upscale look, we have chairs for dining tables that feature curved high backs with plush cushioned seats and elegant details like tufted grey velvet upholstery and studded nailhead trims. If you want to keep it more casual yet classic, opt for sleek wooden dining chairs in deep espresso that boast details such as slatted or "X" backs. Choose a dining chair with a sleek black finish and a scooped seat with slender legs for modern and contemporary spaces.
You'll find all your dining chair needs at Old Time Pottery, no matter what your taste or style.
Why You Need Comfortable Dining Chairs
Meals are meant to be enjoyed and are where some of the fondest memories are made. Whether it's your nightly family dinner, a special holiday or celebratory occasion, or a spontaneous, friendly get-together, tables are where people gather to laugh and exchange great conversation. Having comfortable dining chairs is essential to this experience.
When you have the most comfortable dining chairs, your seating will entice family and guests to linger a little longer. They'll stay for one more story, an extra cup of coffee, and to relax and decompress after a filling meal. You'll get more time with loved ones as you talk about the good times, plan for the future, or lend a supportive ear. You'll never forget these memories–all encouraged by comfortable, stylish, affordable dining room chairs.
