That depends. The stools that fit with this are 24 inches from the floor to the top of the set. They call them counter height stools. Amazon sells a lot of them. Bar stools are usually 29 inches from the floor to the top of the seat. Bar height tables are usually around 36 inches height. I'm pretty sure that you could get get: http://www.amazon.com/Furniture-America-Console-Station-Cappuccino/

You would sit too high with bar stools. I tried that and it didn't fit comfortably. Counter hiefhr stiols worked best. Hope that helps you. :)

They are working great for my bed because it's stationary. I would think a bar stool is not stationary so maybe not a good idea. You can try selling the bar stools and getting new ones at the correct height.

A chair with the top of seat 34-36" from the floor seems optimal to me. I use a drafting chair that is 32" at this table for computer work and wish the chair was a bit higher.

I used tall bar stools that had a thick cushion. They were the right height, but I think the cushioning then made it a little bit tight for those with big legs.

MORE IMPORTANT THAN HEIGHT FOR YOUR USE: Ensure the square of ground where you set up the stool is 100% level. The stool has 4 discrete contact points with the ground so there is little possibility of an even sitting position if you set up on sand, grass, etc. Also, since the science behind the stool is ruled by non-rigid tension/compression members, the chair will tend to noticeably deform if not leveled at the base! I know that for a musician a stable chair is a must. FYI.

To be honest with you -- I have not lowered this table -- using it by window as a bar table. I previously ordered 2 other tables like this one and had trouble lowering it and didn't want to have any problems with this table. I will contact you there is an update.

You probably need a stool with adjustable hight as well. With a normal chair you cannot fully benefit from the inclined table position. I'm 5'7" and I'm using a stool.

i have both tables- i bought the 42 in and it was too high for my stools- the 36 is perfect in my kitchen- i had to put the 42 on the deck to use as a stand-by table. but the glass is the same size on both

I would say both - but in my case the couch sides are high enough where this would not work as an end table - it's a perfect height as a coffee table (or footrest) in front of the couch - just look at the height specs and see if that works for you

A 29" barstool would be a bit too tall to work comfortably with this table since the bottom of the table is 34.5" high. That would make it a very tight fit for a person's legs. A 24" stool would be much more comfortable.

With the length of your counter 2 stools would be fine, they adjust up & done so the height is not a problem. We love the stools easy to get on & off & adjusting them up & down is very easy. Hope that's helps.

Hi Elizabeth. I have this item at home and I use swivel stools with metal backs on them, from Wal-Mart. They are the bar stool height not the short ones. Both stools fit under the front or on either sides (they do protrude a little more on the sides. Hope this helps.

Not safely. You may want an Oakworks stool. They trend to have wider seats and better cushion. I'll pop on later with the model i bought earlier this year.

This table is almost 30 inches high. We use it with regular folding porch chairs. It is slightly high for those but is definitely acceptable. The table is not tall enough to be used with our bar stools that we use at our 36 inch high pub table. The table is sturdy and perfect for our back porch.

Oh, actually they can be both heights but I'm not quite sure they're sturdy enough for bar use. A bit unsteady at counter height if an adult sits on them

It doesn't sit as high as a regular high chair. I think it all depends on your table and the height of it.

The lowest seat height is pretty much the standard barstool height. I am short so my legs end up dangling, However the seat width and depth are very generous. Don't have the exact measurements. The one thing I don't like is the foot rest it could be bigger around and that would take care of not having to dangle my legs.
