Where a Stool Takes the Strain

Amish bar stools are all about height, and getting it right makes everything else easy. A counter and a raised bar sit at different heights, and a stool built for one leaves you perched too high or slumped too low at the other. Our Amish bar stools are built from solid hardwood in both counter and bar heights, so the seat lands where it should the day it arrives.
That opens on the keyword and states the point in the first breath. One alternative if you want the payoff framed as a benefit rather than a statement:
Amish bar stools live or die on height, so we build them to yours. A counter and a raised bar sit at different heights, and a stool built for one leaves you perched too high or slumped too low at the other. Ours come in both counter and bar heights, in solid hardwood, so the seat lands where it should the day it arrives.

Everything starts with a tape measure. Measure from the floor to the top of your counter or bar, subtract about ten to twelve inches for legroom, and that is your seat height. A standard counter usually takes a counter-height stool and a raised island or bar takes a taller one, though the measurement should decide it over the label.
Then decide how they sit. A swivel turns to face the room and makes getting on and off easier, while a stationary stool sits quietly under the overhang. Backless stools tuck fully out of the way, and stools with backs are the call if anyone lingers over coffee. Leave about a foot of clearance between seats so no elbows collide.
Seats come in solid wood or upholstered, in styles from Mission to farmhouse, all in the wood and stain that matches your kitchen. Tell us your counter height and how many seats you need, and we will confirm the size and build the set to order.
Built to counter or bar height so the seat meets your surface exactly, with room for knees and none of the too-high perch a guessed size leaves you with.
Choose a wooden swivel bar stool that turns to face the room, or a stationary one that stays put, both on a base weighted so it will not tip.
Backless stools slide fully under the counter to keep the walkway clear, while a stool with a back gives you something to settle into over a long breakfast.
A stool takes weight at odd angles all day, so solid hardwood and a braced footrest keep it from working loose the way a factory stool does.

A bar stool works harder than it looks. Feet rest on the rail all day, weight shifts as people lean and turn, and the joints just below the seat carry all of it. Solid hardwood, a braced footrest and a swivel that stays tight are what keep a stool solid for years. Ours are built to order by the Amish shops behind our Nolensville showroom, most arriving in 8 to 12 weeks, with Quick Ship options in 3 to 5.
Because each set is made for you, we match the stools to your table or your dining chairs, down to the wood and the stain, so the kitchen and the dining room read as one.
Height is the one thing you cannot fix after the stools arrive, so it is worth a quick call to get right. Reach the family that runs the showroom and we will work out your counter height, the number of seats and a finish that matches your kitchen. No phone tree, no pressure.
