Replacing a kitchen counter can immediately increase the kitcen's value in the eyes of a home buyer. A simple cosmetic change, a new kitchen counter of the right material and color can make the area seem bigger and certainly cleaner. OF course, replacing the counter should be done for the owner's benefit. Why wait until selling to make a change. A new kitchen counter can be installed without much hassle and can be used almost immediately. Laminate has improved and other manmade materials are now available. When a kitchen needs a face lift, a new counter often fits the bill.

Their are many wooden stools that would go great in a kitchen. You can research possible buying options from http://www.barstools.com/
1 1/2" is fairly standard.
36" is a standard counter. The raised area is usually 42"
There should be enough room for the person to get onto the stool and have enough room for their legs between the table and their legs so that their legs aren't hitting the counter. They should have enough height so that they can reach the counter and eat breakfast.
