Bar stools and chairs are higher than those designed for counters. The chair height is tied to the height of the surface to provide at least 10 inches of space between the seat and the surface. This means counter-height chairs are between 25 and 26 inches tall to fit under a 36-inch counter, but chairs for bars are between 29 and 30 inches tall so a person can reach a 40-inch high bar. Adapting taller chairs for bars to fit under a counter requires trimming the excess length from the chair legs. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
- 1
Measure 25 inches from the seat of the bar-height chair to each of the legs.
2Mark the measured spot on each leg with a pencil.
3Hold the chair with the leg you will cut flat on a work surface and the area below the pencil mark hanging over the edge of the surface.
4Cut off the legs at the pencil marks with a hack saw.
5Sand the cut surface with coarse grit sandpaper. Follow with a fine grit sanding to smooth the surface.
