Bar Stools

Bar stools for Brisbane & Gold Coast kitchens

Bar stools are the finishing touch on a kitchen bench, home bar or breakfast counter — the seats that turn a benchtop into somewhere people actually gather. Our Brisbane and Gold Coast range covers velvet, fabric and PU-leather seats on black, chrome or gold bases, most of them swivel with gas-lift height and one a fixed 65 cm counter stool, so you can match the look of your kitchen and the way you use the space. Every style is sold in a set of 2 for a coordinated, considered look at your bench.

You get current designs at fair prices with local delivery across South-East Queensland, and you can ask which showroom has the stool you like on display.

Shop bar stools by style

Narrow the range by the feature that matters most for your bench, from a swivel base to a supportive backrest or a shorter kitchen-counter height.

• Grey bar stools — a soft neutral that suits most kitchens.
• Black bar stools — a sharp modern look against stone benchtops.

Why the right bar stool matters

Getting the seat height right is the difference between a stool that gets used every day and one that ends up pushed into a corner. Too low and you're reaching up to the bench; too high and there's nowhere to put your knees. Match the stool to your bench height first, then choose the material and finish that suits the rest of your kitchen.

Pair your stools with a dining table for the rest of the room, or browse our dining chairs to keep the finish consistent across your whole dining space.

How to choose the right bar stool

1. Match the seat height to your bench

For a standard Australian kitchen bench around 90 cm high, look for a counter stool with a seat height of roughly 65–75 cm. For a taller home bar or pub-style bench around 105–110 cm, step up to a bar-height stool with a seat around 75–80 cm. As a rule of thumb, leave 25–30 cm between the top of the seat and the underside of the bench for comfortable knee room.

2. Choose swivel or fixed

Swivel bases make it easy to turn in and out of the bench and are a popular choice for kitchen islands and home bars. Fixed-leg stools sit a little more solidly and can suit a narrower footprint — both are available across our range.

3. Pick a material that suits your kitchen

PU-leather seats wipe clean easily and suit busy family kitchens; fabric seats add warmth and texture for a softer look. Black-metal and chrome frames lean modern and sit well against stone benchtops, while gold bases add a touch of glam.

Styling bar stools around your home

• Kitchen island — swivel stools with PU-leather seats are easy to wipe down and comfortable for quick meals.
• Home bar — taller bar-height stools with a footrest suit a dedicated bar bench or servery.
• Breakfast counter — a set of 2 fixed-leg stools keeps the footprint tight in a smaller kitchen.
• Open-plan living — coordinate your stools with nearby dining chairs for a considered, tonal look rather than an exact match.

Bar stools — frequently asked questions

• What height bar stool do I need for my bench?

  It depends on your bench height. For a standard counter around 90 cm high, look for a stool with a seat height of roughly 65–75 cm. For a taller home bar around 105–110 cm, choose a bar-height stool with a seat around 75–80 cm. As a general guide, aim for 25–30 cm of clearance between the seat and the underside of the bench.

• Are your bar stools sold individually or in pairs?

  Our bar stools are sold in sets of 2, so you get a matching pair ready to style at your bench, island or home bar.

• Should I choose a swivel or fixed bar stool?

  Swivel stools are easier to turn in and out of the bench and are popular for kitchen islands and home bars. Fixed-leg stools sit solidly in place and can suit a narrower footprint. Both are available across our range, so it comes down to how you use the space.

• What materials are available and how easy are they to clean?

  We stock velvet, fabric and PU-leather seats on black, chrome or gold bases. PU-leather wipes clean easily and suits busy family kitchens, while velvet and fabric add warmth and texture. Black-metal and chrome lean modern and pair well with stone benchtops; gold adds a touch of glam.

• Can I see the bar stools in person, and do you offer finance?

  Not every stool is on display at every showroom, so ask which of our showrooms (Rocklea, Virginia, Beenleigh, Bundall and North Ipswich) has the one you like before you visit. We also offer Afterpay, Zip, Klarna, Latitude Interest Free and PayPal Pay in 4, plus a Layby option on selected products. Find addresses and opening hours.
