Extra Tall Teak Barstools - do they exist?

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

Hi, I am on the hunt for extra tall teak barstools (with a seat height of 33"-37"). My outdoor bar is quite tall at 46 inches! Unfortunately, I didn't realize how severely this would limit my barstool options.

Has anyone ever seen teak barstools this tall? I am beginning to worry they don't exist.

Thanks,

Jenn

Your counters are about 4" taller than standard bar height. Your best bet would be to nix the teak bar stool idea and find stools that have adjustable heights instead.

Or shorten the bar to 42...

I would suggest you take out the cabinet that is to the right of the stove and use it elsewhere in the house -- perhaps in the bathroom or dining room with a hutch above it. Then, I would suggest you have someone install a lazy susan cabinet in the corner between the sink counter and the stove, meaning you would move the stove down a bit and have a small cabinet/counter top to the right of the stove. I would suggest you have the cabinets refinished in white and then paint the walls a pastel you like. If you would prefer white walls, then add white-painted crown molding and paint the ceiling a light neutral blue, such as Sherwin Williams Niagara Falls Blue. Then, I would suggest you choose a favorite accent color and use this sparingly in accessories like towels, pot holders, small vases or floral arrangements, and a valence above the triple windows. For a genuine 1940s look, you might have white ceramic square tiles with a rectangular red border installed as a back splash behind and above the stove. If you are replacing counter tops, I would suggest a light color such as white with a beige or light grey vein or striation for some sort of pattern. You might be able to find the same color and design in floor tile OR opt for a wood floor as another poster suggested.

Shared bathroom, doubles as ensuite, long narrow space! Help!

Thanks houssaon and rinqreation! Funny - hubby has the same 2 door hate! It sounds like I'm being outvoted on the shared ensuite idea. :) We've actually been set on both the configurations you suggested, we moved away from yours houssaon because we really wanted to keep a closed off office space (and hubby built the front deck and landing already for the door at the end of the hallway!). And I don't know why we shifted the door on the bedroom back to the same area, I think it was about having easy access to all the kids bedrooms. But maybe we should shift it back as you suggest rinqreation. Joice, the door at the end of the hallway is the front door, the entrance closest to the street, that you would come to first if you were a visitor. Not totally necessary, but we reinstated it before we decided we wanted the entrance up the stairs (middle bottom) which would be under a carport. Thanks for all your input!! It's really helpful to have some unattached opinions. I'm keen to hear from anyone else on the shared ensuite or 2 door hate question! :)

Putting a range in an existing brick chimney?
Q
Comments (14)
Hi there nicndrew -- wondering if you ever solved your venting issues if you went ahead and put your range into the fireplace. We have a similar issue - 140 year old victorian and the only realistic plan we can come up with for a new kitchen design is to put our range into an existing fireplace. Our floorplan is constrained by a stairwell as well as a couple of weight bearing walls so we need to work with what we have...I am hoping we can vent up and out the side of the house -- four flues in this chimney but the kitchen flue is closest to the exterior wall. The contractor is coming to take a look on Saturday but would love to gather some suggestions before then.

Park in on street parking and use your designated parking spot for container veggies. If the other dwellers won't poach them. Contact a local garden club to pair up with an older gardener who may have to be cutting back her pursuits but isn't ready to give up gardening all together. That's win/win. Maybe a local food bank is trying to get a gardener's donation initiative off the ground and needs help convincing local gardeners to ''plant an extra row'' for them. Or Habitat For Humanity might be interested in doing edible landscaping for some of their homes and people who have never gardened before and who might need help. Lots of ways to have green fingers if you really want. If none of those initiatives exist in your community, then initiate them yourself!

I don't know your budget or commitment to the design style you have in mind, but I would look on etsy and see if someone who makes outdoor wood furniture could be commissioned to make the stools you want. Depending on where you live you may also find custom wood workers locally.

IMO shorten that bar that height needed for barstools is actually quite awful for seating the stools are made for giants and IMO never nice to get in and out of. Even adjustable stools will not usually go higher than 30 “ and you need 34 “really . Think about trying to get into a stool that is only 2 “ lower than a regular counter it requires a stool you can climb on safely there will IMO be very few choices.

+1 on shortening the bar if possible. Way back in the day the company I worked for built an outdoor bar counter at 48" by mistake. I was in school for interior design so I even had connections in that world and I still couldn't find anything that would work. We ended up tearing it out and redoing it.

Thank you everyone for your responses. The idea to shorten the bar hadn't crossed my mind, and I'm a little afraid to ask my mason how much that would cost. But it certainly seems like the best solution long term. In the meantime, I bought some affordable black stools from Lowe's. They are only 30 inches tall, so obviously not tall enough for my bar, but they do the trick for now. My dad and husband both said they don't mind sitting on them so long as they have a cold beer in their hands, hah! Happy summer everyone and thanks again for your advice.

Hi Jennifer -- If you can bring the bar stools in to your home before it rains, we have 36 and 37" seat height bar stools on our website here:

https://barstoolcomforts.com/category/36-height-bar-stools/

They're made for the indoors, but again, if you can cover them, you should be fine!

This height is very, very hard to come by, especially for the outdoors.
