2. Anco Counter Stool

3. Punch Bar Stool
This fun piece can inject life into your kitchen with its three muted pastels — matcha, blue grey and grey. It’s much tougher than it looks, consisting of contoured plastic and a grade-A steel frame. It’s low maintenance, although garment dyes may bleed onto its paint when light-colored.
4. Walker Edison Whiskey Brown Faux Leather Lounge Kitchen Chairs
This sophisticated pair of bar stools has curved seats for comfort. Its synthetic leather upholstery is soft to the touch. Thanks to their robust powder-coated steel legs, these chairs can support up to 300 pounds individually. They’re also surprisingly lightweight, so you can conveniently move them around wherever you need extra seating.
5. Three Posts™ Warm Cherry Sharman Solid Wood Bar Stool Set
These stools stand 28.62 inches from the floor, making them perfect companions for 34- to 36-inch-high dining tables and island counters. Each of them can also accommodate up to 250 pounds. They’re hand-distressed, so these pieces are never 100% aesthetically identical.
6. Burnt Umber Velvet Brass-Legged Wire Frame Bar Stool
This stool draws inspiration from mid-century school chairs. Its back’s edge is 35.2 inches from the floor, and its snug velvet-upholstered padded seat with metal legs can support up to 275 pounds. Its earthy brownish-red complexion is regal, allowing it to pop around the island. The brass frame finish introduces an antimicrobial surface to your kitchen to naturally sanitize and keep it hygienic.
7. Oak Matte Black Cobb Bar Stool
This 30-inch stool boasts a cross-base design with exciting details. It includes a footrest to help improve your posture and prevent knee strain when sitting on its solid oak seat. Its matte black steel body can carry the weight of a 300-pounder. This indoor chair exudes industrial aesthetics, bringing more texture to a space dominated by masonry and wood.
8. LumiSource Bamboo Grey Metal Dakota Adjustable Stool Set
This duo of industrial bar stools — whose weight capacity is 250 pounds — has round bamboo seats and grey metal bases. You can swivel in them 360 degrees, allowing freedom of movement. Their seat height adjusts from 23 to 31.25 inches, so you can transform them into counter stools. The footrests of these indoor backless chairs come in handy when you extend them to their maximum length.
9. Everly Quinn Blue Neuhaus Swiveled Bar Stool Set
Sitting on these bar stools will make you feel royal. Their velvet seats feature round padded cushions upholstered with foam, can rotate 360 degrees, and have a low back gently arcing for support.

They stand 28.94 inches from floor to seat and carry the weight of 286-pound sitters.

It’s quintessentially farmhouse and modern, so eclectic to the core. This number is available in various seat colors, so you can go neutral or warm to suit your space. Regarding height and weight capacity, its seat hovers 30 inches above the floor and can support up to 250 pounds.

12. George Oliver Vaughnsville Bar Stool
This stool is the perfect piece to round out a kitchen island or add seating to an entertainment area. Its medium-density fiber backless seat is 29.25 inches from the floor and crowns its four-legged round steel base with plastic glides. The result is that it can bear 300 pounds and is smoothly movable. Its most noticeable quirk is a solid ash dowel doubling as a footrest, adding personality to its otherwise all-white appearance.
