The inspiration for the name of this site comes from 36 bar stools, which is a quick way to refer to the 36 inch bar stool size. 36” bar stools are my favorite size and are also preferred by many other people. 36 inches is one of the taller sizes that can be found.

Bar stools are measured using the seat height system, which is from down at the floor up to the top of the seat. The most common sizes fall within the 18 to 36 inch range.

What size stools should you buy?

The first thing to look at would be to figure out who are going to use them. Will it be mostly the same people day after day or will there often be visitors? Different sized people can be better suited for different bar stools. Different age ranges may have different preferences and needs.

The other main important factor would be what type of furniture, counters and such that they will be used with. It is often recommended that there be around between 9 and 13 inches in between the height of the table or counter and the height of the stool.

36 bar stools are best for spectator type counters. People often refer to these as spectator stools and these can be found in places such as billiards halls and sports bars. Of course many people like myself now have them in their homes also.

As always, it’s important to be safe and maintain proper balance when using a stool, but maybe even extra attention should be paid when using taller stools. It’s also nice to do routine inspections on them to make sure everything is in good shape.

The taller look of 36 bar stools offer a certain elegance and charm. A certain sophistication can be felt from sitting up at that height, yet at the same time these high stools can be found at neighborhood pubs. At any given time, there are a variety of people from all over the world sitting on them and I will be too in a few minutes.
