Counter: 650 mm seat height
Bar: 690 mm seat height


We generally recommend 250-350 mm between the seat and the underside of the table top for comfortable sitting. Please note that these measurements are a guide in relation to DesignByThem bar seating products only. We recommend measuring your space carefully before purchasing.
