Designer Advice:

This extra tall bar stool is extremely customizable: you can choose among four finishes for the frame and legs and eighteen (yes, you’ve read that correctly!) for the vinyl upholstery.

A backless model is the most logical option in dining rooms or kitchens that already feel a little cramped. By removing that additional element, you’ll obtain a cleaner visual flow and make your room look airier than it is. Needless to say, you’ll also get to push the entire stool underneath the table once you’re done using it.
Buying Guide
Emily is a young, talented designer, whose professional interests gravitate towards kitchen and dining spaces. She prides herself on her attention to detail, obsession with functionality, and appreciation for craftsmanship.
It's tricky to select bar stools with 36-inch seat height. If you pick the wrong ones, you might have to slouch every time you sit on any of them or not reach the bar or counter, which is worse. It is, therefore, necessary to take extra precaution during the buying process to select the right 36-inch bar stools.
If it is your first time getting bar stools and you need help in making a selection, here are a few considerations you need to take into account:
A 36-inch bar stool is perfect for a bar or counter that's at least 46 inches from your flooring. To determine whether a 36-incher is right for your space, get the exact height of your counter or bar. If possible, do it twice to ensure you get an accurate measurement.
If your space is limited, the right bar stools for you are those with no arms as they can be hidden under the table or bar whenever they are not needed. You may also get swivel stools with backrests as they can double as conversational seating within your home or apartment.
Now, let's move on to the fun part: choosing the design of your tall bar stools! The first thing you need to do is to check the décor of your space as well as the way furniture and fixtures are positioned. The style of your bar stools should blend with the room's existing décor. You may want a modern or casual look. If so, then your best options are backless stools. A more elegant aesthetic can be achieved through stools with carved wood finish and armrests.
Will you be using the stools for hours at a time? If you answered yes, then consider the units with backrests. They will give you comfort which backless bar stools can't provide. The most comfortable seat is also one that's cushioned. If you haven't found a stool that you like with all the features we just mentioned, you can simply get a chair pad which will add comfort.
If you have kids, you may want stools that have no cushioning. If you require cushions, the fabric should at least be spill-resistant for easy cleanup. Adjustable stools can be helpful as the children would still be able to use them as they grow.
- Padded Seats - Padded seats are excellent options if you want a soft seat that allows you to sit on it for an extended period of time. If you want a wooden seat but it isn't padded, just get tie-on seat pads for better comfort.
- Deep Seats - A deep seat is ideal for tall people as it supports legs better. It doesn’t cut into the thigh as how shallower seats would.
- Shallow Seats - A shallow seat is an excellent choice for shorter people with shorter legs as it allows them to reach the footrest. If your legs dangle from the seat, there's a lot of pressure in your thighs which will take away your comfort.
