Dining & Bar Seatings

Counter height stools are seating options designed specifically for use with counter-height tables or surfaces. Here are some key characteristics:

• Height: Typically, counter height stools have a seat height ranging from 24 to 27 inches. They are meant for counters that are about 34 to 36 inches tall.
• Design: These stools often come in various styles, from traditional to modern, and can include features such as backs, armrests, and footrests for added comfort.
• Material: Counter height stools can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and upholstery, allowing for diverse aesthetics that can complement different decor styles.
• Uses: They are commonly used in kitchens, dining areas, or bars, providing an elevated seating option that works well for casual dining or socializing.
• Versatility: Their height and design make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings, depending on the material used.

Bar height stools typically range from 28 to 32 inches in height. They are designed for use with bar tables or counters that are 40 to 42 inches high. When choosing bar height stools, it's important to ensure the height aligns with your bar or counter for a comfortable seating experience.

When selecting the right dining chairs, consider the following factors:

• Style: Choose dining chairs that match the overall style of your dining area. If your dining room has a modern aesthetic, consider chairs with sleek lines; if it's more traditional, opt for classic designs.
• Comfort: Ensure that the dining chairs are comfortable to sit in. Test out different seat cushions and back heights, especially if you plan to spend long periods at the dining table.
• Material: The material of the dining chairs affects their appearance and durability. Common materials include wood, metal, plastic, and upholstery.
• Size and Proportion: Make sure the height of the dining chairs is appropriate for your dining table, which typically stands between 28 to 30 inches high, with chair seat heights ranging from 18 to 20 inches.
• Quantity: Determine the number of dining chairs needed based on the size of your table and available space, ensuring that it doesn’t feel cramped and allows for easy movement.

• Check the Care Label: Before cleaning, check the care label on your dining chairs to determine if the fabric is "wet-cleanable" or "dry clean only." This will guide your cleaning method and products.
• Remove Loose Debris: Use a microfiber cloth or vacuum cleaner to remove loose dirt, crumbs, or debris from the chairs. Pay special attention to seams and crevices where dirt can accumulate.
• Prepare a Cleaning Solution: For most fabric chairs, mix a small amount of mild detergent with warm water in a spray bottle. Alternatively, you can use a dedicated upholstery cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Clean Stains Promptly: For fresh stains, apply your cleaning solution sparingly to a clean cloth or sponge and dab at the stain using a gentle blotting motion. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the fabric fibers.
• Use Specialized Products for Tough Stains: For stubborn stains, consider using specialized products like HG stain remover or household items, such as baking soda, vinegar, or shaving foam, as alternative cleaning solutions.
• Drying: After cleaning, allow your chairs to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading, but consider placing them outside briefly for fresh air if weather permits.
