PrimeZone Swivel Bar Stools Set of 2, 34 Inch Extra Tall Bar Height

PrimeZone's set of 2 swivel bar stools with a true 34 inch seat height for 44 to 47 inch extra-tall bars, with curved backrests, faux leather seats and rubberwood frames.

Our score8.5/10

Extra tall bar stools are seats with a raised seat height, usually 34 inches or more, made for the taller pub tables and spillover bar tops that standard 30-inch stools leave you hunched over. For tall people, the payoff is simple: knees clear the counter, feet reach the footrest, and you sit level instead of perched. When you shop, check the exact seat height against your counter and aim for roughly a 10 to 12 inch gap between seat and countertop. Look at footrest position, since a rest set too low strains long legs, plus a weight rating that suits bigger frames, a wide sturdy base, and a swivel or back if comfort matters over long sits.
