How to Measure Bar Stool Height

Bar stools are not just for local pubs, pool halls and other such establishments. They can also be used for sitting at a counter or table in your house. Measuring the height of both the bar stools you plan on using and the height of the counter or table that will be associated with the stools ensures that you and your guests will be comfortable while sitting, and that the stools do not look out of place while resting next to the table or counter. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Stand the bar stool upright on a flat floor. This ensures the stool is not tilted in any direction, which could lead to a wrong measurement.

2

Place the measuring tape on the side of the stool's seat. Hold the top of the measuring tape at the very top edge of the side of the stool.

3

Extend the measuring tape straight down to the ground. Tilting the tape in any direction leads to an inaccurate measurement.

4

Read the dash mark on the tape that is closest to the portion of tape touching the ground. This is the height of the bar stool.
