Diner styles are wonderfully retro creating a vision of chromed bases and vinyl seats in a wide range of classic colors. Traditionals incorporate armrests and blend beautifully with wood seats with decorative crests. Therefore, counter stools are built to sit around 10-11 inches under the top of that counter, having decreased seat heights of 24-27 inches. Chairs with swivel come in a variety of styles to match your décor. Barstools with swivel are more convenient than typical barstools.
