Counter height chairs are the "in-between" option, and it exists specifically because dining height patio sets are too low for elevated decks and bar feels too tall for everyday use. It's the one height where you're sitting close to eye level with someone standing next to you, which is part of why it feels more social than a standard dining setup. The listed Comfo-Back Counter Height Chair spec (20.5" seat, 31.5" arm height, on a chair that stands 46" overall) runs a bit under the textbook 24–26". It's always important to read the specifications for any height chair especially when matching it with a table not made by the same manufacturer.
Owner reviews back up the comfort claim of counter height chairs:
- Denise S.: "These chairs are comfy, sturdy, attractive, easy to clean, all kinds of weather resistant, but they are a bit difficult to put together (If ordering online most styles will require assembly). All in all, we love them!!"
- David Cox (review titled "High quality comfortable great colors"): "Love Berlin Gardens furniture."
- Marilee A. Higgins: "Like the quality."
Where counter height chairs work best:
- Outdoor kitchens with a 34"–36" counter
- Covered patios and elevated decks
- Homes with a view worth sitting up for - need to see above railing
- Anyone who finds bar stools a stretch to climb onto
