A counter stool (or barstool) is a raised seat typically placed at (you guessed it) a bar, behind a kitchen counter, or at high tables. Counter stools can be both backless and armless, and more often than not come with a footrest to help support you while you sit. A barstool's typical seat height is 26"-32", and a counter stool's typical seat height comes in slightly lower at 24"-29".
