Buy the best tall chairs with arms selected and recommended by interior designers. By Chloe Hughes.
Just because your chair is counter height doesn't mean it needs to be a bar stool. If you want to spend some time sitting at a counter and want to be comfortable, why not instead get yourself a counter height armchair? They are elevated perfectly to maximize eye contact with everyone at the counter.

Barstools are all very well, but sometimes they just aren’t as comfortable as they might be. For your breakfast bar or relaxing mid-morning tea, counter height armchairs are just the thing. They have the height of a barstool as well as the footrest, but they incorporate the comfort and support of an armchair. When you add a swivel top for ease getting up and down (and not having to awkwardly scoot the chair) your kitchen counter just increased its usefulness, as did your outdoor tiki bar.
Why do Counter Height Arm Chairs come in handy in the kitchen?
Cooking, cleaning, coaching homework – a lot of things go on in the kitchen. When the head chef gets a moment to relax, there is no need to go to another room if there is a comfortable upholstered chair that is the right height for the counter. It makes it easy to have a cup of tea, read the news, and still keep an eye on the next meal as it is bubbling on the stove.
Are Counter Height Arm Chairs only good for the kitchen?
Enjoy the view from your kitchen, dining room or even living room with tall upholstered chairs grouped around your picture window. No more having to stand to enjoy the sunrise or sunset, or to look across the harbor or out to sea – you have the catbird seat, so to speak, in these comfortable chairs that are approximately the same height as barstools, but so much more attractive.
Are Counter Height Chairs suitable for a business setting?
Smart upholstered adjustable counter height chairs are erfect for any business or office that greets customers across a counter. The faux leather seats do not have arms, but more than make up for that with the comfortable curve of back and seat. The chrome-colored single leg is balanced on a wide pedestal base, and have a strong, rigid metal loop to use as a footrest. Perfect for soda fountain customers or even for a traditional bar.
What makes Counter Height Chairs optimal for the entire family?
For extra tall people, standard kitchen chairs are often just too short. A tall armchair can offer a tall person a comfortable place to sit and afford a small child a seat tall enough to reach the table or counter without added cushions or the traditional fat telephone book. Being seated comfortably can lend greater enjoyment to family time and cut down on someone feeling cramped.
What are some features of rutic style Counter Height Arm Chairs?
Enjoy a sort of rustic grace with a counter-height, slat-constructed armchair. Reminiscent of Adirondack chairs, those amazingly comfortable wooden lawn chairs, this chair sits on a four-legged pedestal. Perfect for patio tiki bars or just a stone counter at the edge of the garden.
Counter height armchairs are the perfect seat for looking out a tall window, sitting in the kitchen taking a bit of a tea or coffee break, or even relaxing on the patio. No matter where you put them, they raise the seated person just a little bit higher up in the world, in a pleasant sort of way.
