Your choice of seating all depends on the environment you want to evoke in your staycation paradise.
Bar and Counter Stool Guide
In the 20th century Industrial Design movement, the notion of ‘form follows function’ arose, meaning that a building’s shape reflects its intended purpose. This architectural concept certainly applies to outdoor seating. At a general height of 35-37 inch high bar stools are meant for lively discussions in social settings. The tall height allows for eye-level conversations with guests who are standing, and the open structure encourages mingling. If you’re interested in using your outdoor kitchen to entertain groups of guests, Summer Classics offers a wide selection of outdoor barstools.
Lovers of minimalism will be drawn to the Avondale Teak Counter Stool, which is made of natural teak wood. The mid-century modern design that inspired it has been pared down to make this a contemporary outdoor counter stool. The clean lines bring an uptick in style for added sophistication, and the wood from which it is made, famed for its durability, means the patio counter stool will stand up to the elements during each changing season with proper care.
At Summer Classics, we believe in providing ‘Life’s Best Moments. Furnished.’
Made for a counter height between 23 and 28, outdoor counter stools are tailored to a more relaxed style of entertaining. The medium height evokes an atmosphere more upscale than standard dining, but is less formal than bar height. Easy to slide into, they invite comfort and deep conversations between a few guests over dinner. If you want to aim for this relaxed approach to high dining, Summer Classics’ options adhere to your stylistic choices.
Seemingly transported from a French sidewalk cafe, the charming Savoy bar stool gets a fresh look with a White and Navy or White and Natural two-tone weave and Chalk-finish aluminum frame. Deep-seating styling provides comfort without a cushion, and the chair’s design makes it ideal for small spaces. Easy care and sturdy styling mean years of worry-free enjoyment.
Keep It Low
If elevated dining is not the environment you’d like for your outdoor kitchen, we offer several standard height and low dining options, as well as conversation sets that will keep the party going into the night. Gathered around a fire pit, Avondale Adirondack chairs make a great arrangement. Alternatively, lean into luxe lounging. The Montecito Lounge features oversized proportions for the ultimate in luxurious seating. Inspired by the charm of handwoven basketry, the large wicker weave offers a relaxed look and feel to the low, linear profile of this outdoor lounge chair. Made for years of enjoyment and beauty with highly weather- and UV-resistant resin wicker for a worry-free experience with the look of natural materials. Choose a Summer Classics Vesta fire pit as a one-of-a-kind centerpiece.
All Year Round
An outdoor kitchen is much more than a grill and a patio set. Aim to create a look of permanence even if you won’t be able to use your outdoor room year round. Many outdoor kitchens feature stonework that blends with the patio surface. Gas grills are often built into stone counters, and sinks and refrigerators bring convenience to the setting. Barstools and chair seating are fantastic for large group gatherings and counter stools are ideal for more intimate chats, choosing seating for your outdoor kitchen deserves greater consideration than planning a dinner party or hosting guests for a wine night. It’s about your permanent outdoor lifestyle. At Summer Classics, we believe in providing ‘Life’s Best Moments. Furnished.’ Our goal is to offer materials that will inspire you to create your perfect outdoor kitchen. Specifically, an outdoor kitchen that is meant to last.
