It is important when buying a barstool to get the ideal size and height so that it fits under your island or table or bar. Here is a guide on how to accomplish this . . . Pay close attention to the height of the seat as there are several different measurements of the seat height.
Regular Barstool
A bar stool is commonly 29-31 inches from the floor to the seat (seat height). Pair this bar stool with a 41-43 inch table height.
Counter Bar Stool
A counter stool is commonly 24-26 inches from the floor to the seat (seat height). Pair this counter stool with a 35-37 inch table height.
A Regular Chair
A chair is commonly 17-19 inches from the floor to the seat (seat height). Pair this chair with a 29-31 inch table height.

How many bar stools do I need?
A standard rule in the industry is to allow 26-30 inches between the centers of each stool seat.
