Counter / Bar Stool

Counter and bar stools are small pieces that do a lot of work — they set the tone for a kitchen island or home bar without taking up floor space. Our collection ranges from faux leather bar stools with padded seats to velvet counter stools and low-profile designs sized for tighter counters, so you can match seat height to your island or bar top rather than the other way around.

Choosing the right height

Counter height typically suits islands around 36 inches, while bar height is built for taller bars near 42 inches — check your counter before ordering, since the two aren't interchangeable. Stools like the Jaden and Wayne styles come with sturdy metal or wood frames, and several are sold in sets of two so a run of stools matches from end to end.

Materials and finishes

Faux leather stools in black, white, and gray wipe clean easily and suit busy kitchens, while velvet counter chairs bring a softer look to a bar area or breakfast nook. For a dedicated vanity or dressing corner, we also carry stool-and-mirror sets that pair a matching bench with a lit mirror. Whatever the finish, our stools are built for daily use — pull one up to the island for a quick breakfast or line several along a home bar for entertaining.

New York Modern ships these pieces nationwide, with local pickup from our Houston-area warehouse near Sugar Land, TX.
