Measure the actual underside of the surface and any supporting apron. Do not substitute the bar version for the counter version simply because both have the same finish options.

If you are matching existing wood furniture, use the selected finish images and ask for clarification rather than expecting every piece called Walnut to have identical grain or color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlan a repeated silhouette without crowding the room\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three listings give the same 20.5-inch overall width and 18.1-inch depth. That shared footprint can simplify a visual comparison, but each position still needs enough room to enter, sit and move the seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a dining set, measure the usable span between table legs. For a counter, check adjacent supports and the route behind the stools.
