Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good height for a bar counter? 

The best height for a bar counter depends on your seating choice. For bar stools, a height of around 42 inches works well. If you prefer using standard chairs, a height of about 36 inches will be more comfortable. 

What size should my bar counter be? 

The size of your bar counter depends on your available space and how you plan to use it. A good rule of thumb is to allow at least 24 inches of width per person, giving everyone enough space to enjoy their drinks and chat comfortably. Our lava stone tiles and furniture are crafted to highlight these natural elements, with each piece telling its own story. From natural, unglazed finishes to rich, glazed colors, lavastone offers something special that other materials can’t match.
