Bar & Counter Stools in Portland, OR

Bar & Counter Stools in Portland, Oregon

The right bar stool or counter stool turns a kitchen island from a workspace into the center of your home. What's New Furniture carries a curated selection of bar-height, counter-height, adjustable, and swivel stools — plus consigned finds you won't see anywhere else in Portland.

Heights: Bar vs. Counter

Getting the height right matters more than anything else. Counter-height stools (26") are designed for standard kitchen counters and islands (36" high). Bar-height stools (30") pair with raised bars and pub tables (42" high). Not sure which you need? Measure your counter and subtract 10–12 inches for a comfortable seat height. We also carry adjustable-height stools that work at either level — useful if your home has both a counter and a bar.

Styles & Materials

Wood stools — Solid oak, walnut, and mango frames for a warm, natural look. Metal stools — Iron, steel, and brass finishes from industrial to modern. Upholstered stools — Fabric and leather seats for comfort at long dinners. Rattan and woven stools — Coastal and bohemian styles for a relaxed kitchen. Available in swivel, backless, low-back, and full-back configurations to match your counter layout and traffic flow.

Kitchen Island & Home Bar Applications

For kitchen islands, we typically recommend stools with a low back or backless design so they tuck under the overhang cleanly. Swivel stools are ideal for islands where you're turning between the counter and the room. For home bars and pub tables, a full-back bar stool with a footrest provides more support for longer seating. Need a matched set? Most styles are available in quantities of 2, 3, or 4+.

New + Consigned

Our consignment program regularly brings in sets of high-quality barstools and counter stools at below-retail prices. Consigned stools are inspected by our team and sell quickly — if you see a set you like, don't wait.

Complete your home bar setup with a stylish bar cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What height bar stool do I need for my kitchen island?
Measure your counter height. Standard kitchen counters are 36" — use a 26" counter stool. Raised bars are 42" — use a 30" bar stool. Leave 10–12 inches between the seat and the counter surface.

How many bar stools do I need for my island?
