Building a breakfast bar?

I am going to build a breakfast bar in my kitchen, and was wondering how high it should be? I know that I need to measure a bar chair to see how tall they are, and go from there. But was just wondering if someone has an idea.
Thanks for any help.
buy your bar stools first and then sit on them and decide how high youd like the bar. if you have kids, this may make a difference too. on a decorating show once i saw that they made the bar, then bought the stools, and they had arms on them, and because of the arms, they wouldnt fully slide under the bar-top and thus, the chairs stuck out a bit.
goodluck 🙂
Should be about 3.5 feet
i would go between 3 and 4 feet, 4 feet is pretty high but it all depends on the height of your chairs. good luck!
When I install my new kitchen, I’m putting my counter at 4′ for the area with stools. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to install the other counters that high, but it would be fine for an eating counter.
