Outdoor Bar + Counter Stools

An outdoor bar or kitchen counter without the right stool is a surface without a seat — and the stool is what makes outdoor bar entertaining actually work. At Lulu and Georgia, the outdoor bar and counter stools collection brings together powder-coated aluminum bar stools in swivel and fixed configurations, teak and hardwood counter stools, resin wicker bar stools with cushions, and stackable all-weather stools in heights suited for outdoor bar and counter surfaces at both standard bar height (42 inches) and counter height (36 inches).

What outdoor bar and counter stools does Lulu and Georgia carry?

The collection includes bar-height stools (28-30 inch seat) in powder-coated aluminum, resin wicker with cushions, and teak; counter-height stools (24-26 inch seat) in the same materials; swivel bar stools for flexibility at a bar counter; backless stools for a streamlined look; and stools with arms for added comfort at a full-service outdoor bar. Most styles are weather-resistant for outdoor use; cushion covers are removable and machine washable on most upholstered styles.

How many stools do I need for an outdoor bar?

Allow at least 24 inches of bar width per stool for comfortable seating. For a 72-inch outdoor bar counter, plan for three stools; for a 96-inch counter, four stools. If the bar has a return or L-shape, count each section independently. Leave 6 inches of clearance at each end of the counter so the end stools don't crowd the edge. For a kitchen island or outdoor prep counter that people walk around, allow 28-30 inches per stool to provide more generous spacing.

Can outdoor bar stools stay out in rain?

Powder-coated aluminum and resin wicker stools can remain outdoors in rain without damage to the frame; cushions should be brought inside or stored in a deck box when rain is expected. Teak stools can stay out in rain but benefit from a light sanding and re-oiling annually to maintain the finish. For stools that will be left outdoors permanently, choose styles without upholstered cushions or with removable and machine-washable cushion covers in solution-dyed acrylic fabric.
