Bar Stools with Backs

If you’re sitting at the counter for any length of time, we recommend bar stools with backs, as this will relieve the pressure from your back and spine, allowing you to sit back and relax.

Swivel Bar Stools with Backs

The most popular type of bar stool feature is a swivel bar stool with back because it allows you to sit back and rotate in any direction which is great for entertaining. Most of our bar stools come in your choice of 360-degree swivel or memory-return swivel. 

Some of our most popular swivel bar stools with backs are the Ronny, Catalina, Fame, and the Nicholas.

Back Height

When you’re shopping for bar stools with backs, you’ll notice all different back heights. Some will say low back, mid back, and high back.

Low Back Bar Stools

Most of our bar stools with low backs are in line with the height of the counter or lower. 

A low back allows you to see through your counter, as there is no high back blocking the view. This helps keep the space looking tidy. 

Popular low back bar stools include the Ace, Barry, Ronny, Catalina, and Baltimore.

Mid Back Bar Stools

A bar stool with a mid back height typically extends above the counter by approximately 2 or 3 inches. 

This still can allow you to see through to the counter, and provides you with more height for your back.

Popular mid back bar stools include the Wish, Payton, and Linea.

High Back Bar Stools

A bar stool with a high back typically extends above the counter over approximately 4 inches.

These stools are typically going to be more comfortable than any other back height because it provides you a lot more space to rest your back. 

Popular high back bar stools include the Cardin, Marcus, Grissom, and 915.
