Bar Stool Buying Guide
Commercial bar stools for sale across three ranges: New Moon, Chester and Producer. This guide compares heights, seat sizes and frame construction so you order the right stool for your counter or bar height.
Height Matching: Bar Stool to Counter
| Counter/bar height | Stool height needed | Our range |
|---|---|---|
| 90–105cm (standard bar height) | 65–70cm seat height | New Moon (78cm overall) |
| 105–115cm (poseur/cocktail table height) | 75–80cm seat height | Chester, Producer (92cm overall) |
Leave 25–30cm clearance between seat height and counter top so guests have knee room. Pairing the wrong stool height with a tall poseur table is the most common seating mistake at standing-reception events — always check the counter or table height first.
Comparing the Three Ranges
New Moon — the widest seat at 47cm × 50cm, 78cm overall height. A lower, broader profile suited to longer events and cocktail receptions where guests stay seated for extended periods.
Chester — 92cm overall on a 37cm-wide frame. The narrowest footprint of the three, built for high-density counter runs and tight poseur table layouts where floor space is limited.
Producer — also 92cm overall, on a heavier 1.8mm-wall steel tube frame at 50cm wide. Suited to standard bar-height counters and higher-footfall venues needing a sturdier frame.
Frame and Seat Construction
All three ranges use electroplated steel frames with padded faux leather seats — wipe-clean, commercially durable, and rated for continuous hospitality use rather than occasional domestic use. Electroplating resists the corrosion that affects untreated steel in venues with high footfall and frequent cleaning.
Colours and Volume Pricing
Available in black, white, brown, grey and red depending on range, from £44.95 per unit ex VAT. Volume pricing applies from 10 units — the standard order size for a single bar run or venue refurbishment.
Pairing With Poseur Tables
Our Chester and Producer stools are sized to pair with 110cm cocktail-height poseur tables — see the Poseur Table Buying Guide for the full height-matching table.
Common Questions About Bar Stools
Which bar stool pairs with a standard bar-height counter?
The New Moon, at 78cm overall with a 65–70cm seat height, matches 90–105cm counters. Chester and Producer, both 92cm overall, are sized for 105–115cm poseur or cocktail-height tables.
What's the difference between Chester and Producer stools?
Both stand 92cm overall. Chester is £44.95 on a narrower 37cm frame, suited to high-density counter runs. Producer is £59.95 on a wider 50cm frame with a heavier 1.8mm-wall steel tube, suited to higher-footfall venues.
What are the stool frames and seats made from?
All three ranges use electroplated steel frames with padded faux leather seats — wipe-clean and durable enough for continuous hospitality use, not just occasional domestic use.
From what quantity does bulk pricing start for bar stools?
Volume pricing applies from 10 units across all three ranges — the standard order size for a single bar run or venue refurbishment.
