Stools

Stools divide into three groups here, and the first choice is height rather than style.

Bar stools have a seat 75 to 80 cm from the floor. They suit a bar or a raised island at 105 to 110 cm - the height most apartment kitchens in Dubai are built to when there is a breakfast bar.

Counter stools sit lower, with a seat 61 to 68 cm, for a standard kitchen counter or island at 90 to 95 cm. If you are unsure, measure from the floor to the underside of the worktop and leave 25 to 30 cm of clearance for your knees.

Wooden stools are grouped by material rather than height, so you will find both bar and counter heights there. Solid teak and mango wood, mostly, and the pieces that work as a side table or a plant stand as readily as a seat.

Across all three: rattan, teak and leather, in natural and black finishes. Allow 60 cm per stool measured centre to centre, so two stools need 120 cm of counter.
