kitchen counter overhang
Counter chairs can be used with a kitchen table, under any surface with an overhang or as a bar stool. One can put comfy cushions on them, sit on on them and just simply relax with a cup of coffee.
A counter stool is generally shorter than a bar stool, as a counter will have a lower height than a bar will. A normal counter stool for a kitchen will be around 24-26 inches, in order to meet the height of an average kitchen counter.
