A bar stool that lives outside needs two things: a frame that won't rust under a wet seat and a seat that dries before the next round. The stools here are powder-coated aluminum from Sunset West, Telescope Casual and Lloyd Flanders, with sling, woven rope or Sunbrella-cushioned seats. Bar height seats sit around 30 inches, made for a 42-inch bar or counter table.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Bar height or counter height?
- Measure the table. A 40 to 42 inch table takes a bar stool with a 28 to 30 inch seat; a 36 inch table takes a counter stool with a 24 to 26 inch seat. Counter stools are in their own collection.
- Swivel or fixed?
- Swivel stools are easier to get on and off at a bar; fixed stools are lighter and stack in some ranges. The page says which.
- Will the seat dry?
- Sling and rope dry in minutes. Cushioned seats in Sunbrella drain and dry through; tip them after a storm.
- Lead time?
- Sunset West builds to order in roughly 4 to 6 weeks, Telescope Casual and Lloyd Flanders in 6 to 8; stock pieces ship sooner. Free curbside delivery to the continental US.
