Upgrade Your Space with Designer Bar Stools
Whether your style is industrial, mid-century modern, luxe, or rustic, you can find custom bar stools that fit your home or venue's decor. The problem with many bar stools is that they may look great but aren't particularly comfortable. Or they're comfortable but have completely sacrificed style. You can have both with our selection of limited edition bar stools. Our pick of the best artisanal bar stools is crafted by small-batch furniture designers, not mass produced for megastores. Stand out from the crowd and inject funk, flavor, and class into your spaces with sculptural silhouettes, handcrafted wooden designs, and upholstered statement pieces made from premium materials with exceptional attention to detail. Choose from backed or backless bar stools in a variety of styles, go for modern and sleek or luxurious and opulent designs. Whether you're shopping for a venue or for a private home, browse cutting-edge designs that truly break the bar stool mold. Wescover has options for both indoor and outdoor bar stools, along with designer seating of varying heights and widths. Choose extra-wide seats for a roomy option or go with a fresh and colorful powder-coated steel design.
How Do I Choose the Right Bar Stools for My Space?
Start by measuring your counter or bar height. Standard counters sit at 36 inches and require 24-inch counter stools, while bar-height surfaces at 42 inches need 30-inch bar stools. Leave 10-12 inches between the seat and counter for comfortable legroom. Consider your space constraints: backless stools tuck neatly under counters in compact kitchens, while swivel seats with backs offer superior comfort for extended gatherings. Think about how your handcrafted stools will complement your existing aesthetic. Match wood tones to cabinetry, introduce contrasting materials for visual interest, or select upholstered options that echo your color palette.
What Style of Bar Stool Is Most Comfortable?
Comfort depends on how you'll use your seating. For quick meals and casual perching, backless stools with contoured seats work beautifully. If you entertain frequently or enjoy lingering at the counter, prioritize custom made bar stools with supportive backs, comfortable footrests, and padded seats or upholstery. Swivel mechanisms add convenience, while armrests provide additional support for extended sitting. Consider the seat material: upholstered surfaces offer plush comfort, while sculpted wood or molded metal provide firm, supportive seating that's easy to maintain.
How Tall Should Bar Stools Be?
The ideal bar stool height depends on your counter surface. Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter or bar, then subtract 10-12 inches to determine the perfect seat height. Standard kitchen counters (36 inches) pair with counter-height stools (24-26 inches), while bar-height surfaces (40-42 inches) require bar-height stools (28-30 inches). Extra-tall counters (44-47 inches) need extra-tall stools (33-36 inches). If you're between measurements or have an adjustable-height surface, consider designer bar stools with gas lift mechanisms that accommodate multiple heights.

Absolutely. Our designer bar stools are crafted with quality materials and construction techniques that withstand both home and commercial use. Many pieces feature commercial-grade finishes, reinforced joinery, and durable upholstery options suitable for high-traffic environments like restaurants, cafes, and hospitality spaces. The handmade nature of these handcrafted stools means you can work directly with makers to specify commercial requirements like fire-rated fabrics, extra reinforcement, or finishes that meet health code standards. Whether you're furnishing a cozy home kitchen or outfitting a bustling restaurant, you'll find custom bar stools that balance aesthetic appeal with practical durability.
Lead times vary depending on whether you're ordering ready-made or custom-made bar stools. In-stock pieces typically ship within a few business days, while custom orders require additional production time, usually 4-12 weeks depending on the complexity of your specifications and the maker's current workload. Each product page includes estimated lead times, and you can communicate directly with artists through Wescover to discuss your timeline. Many makers accommodate rush orders when possible. Because these are handcrafted pieces made to order rather than mass-produced inventory, the wait means you receive unique bar stools built specifically for you with meticulous attention to quality and detail.
