If you have always been the tall one in your high school class, then you have definitely experienced sitting on a chair too small for you that your knees already touch your stomach. But you can worry no more, because with tall bar stools, you will be sitting pretty.
The general rule behind choosing a good stool is that the distance between the seat per se and the countertop is from 10 to 12 inches, so there will be enough space for the legs to move around. Unfortunately, for some people who are taller and bigger, the given space is still not enough. That is why more and more manufacturers are customizing stools to be taller to accommodate their customers’ needs and wants. Where standard bar tools come in sizes from 24 to 29 inches high, tall bar stools can rise up from 30 to 39 inches. Anyone taller than 6 feet will have more than enough space for their long legs. These stools don’t have much difference with standard ones, only they are built taller, and their foot rests are placed lower so anybody can stretch their legs. With these extra-tall stools, you can reach anything on the counter, even if it’s on the other side.
Tall bar stools are not just great from people who are “vertically enhanced.” Just about anyone can use them. For one, they are more comfortable because your legs and feet are free to move about. If you need something from cabinets that are too far above, you can stand on them and reach for the cabinets easily – of course you have to be really careful, or let someone hold the stool for you.
Even kids as young as 2 years old can take advantage of these stools. Youngsters who are too small usually have a hard time eating their food because either they can’t reach the counters or only their noses reach the top of it, and that’s why a messy dinner happens. With tall bar stools, kids will have an easier time chowing down their food. They might even learn how to eat on their own at an earlier age.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can look for tall bar stools that are adjustable, so that anyone, no matter how tall or short they are, can sit in it. You can also adjust these stools depending on how you will use them. For example, you can adjust them to their tallest height if you plan to use them as small tables to put your flower pots on, while making sure your kids or your dog won’t knock them over.
Tall bar stools are so versatile and very useful that there is no wonder why they are becoming more and more popular on the market. With a lot of styles and materials, buying a tall bar stool will certainly place you a head above the others.
