Outdoor Bar Stools

Looking for outdoor bar stools that can handle sun, rain, and daily use without falling apart? Gooddegg's poly bar stools are made from HDPE (high-density polyethylene) - a tough, recycled plastic material that won't crack, rot, splinter, or fade like wood can. Pick a backless stool for a simple, budget-friendly look, or go with a 360° swivel stool for extra comfort at the bar. Every stool ships free.

What Is an Outdoor Bar Stool?

An outdoor bar stool is a tall stool built for bar-height counters and tables, usually around 40"–42" tall overall, with a seat height near 29"–30" from the floor. That height matches a standard bar-height table, so your feet rest comfortably on the stool's footrest instead of dangling.

Unlike indoor stools, outdoor bar stools need to survive sun, rain, and temperature swings without warping or fading. Gooddegg's stools solve this with HDPE poly lumber - a solid, weatherproof plastic that looks like painted wood but never needs to be repainted, sealed, or stained.

Types of Bar Stools

Backless Bar Stools

A simple, open-back design that's easy to slide in and out and easy to store or move around. The Heritage 30" High Bar Stool by Wildridge is a backless style, built at true bar height (30" from the floor) and available in 32 color options.

Swivel Bar Stools

A swivel seat lets you turn side to side without moving the whole stool - handy for chatting with people around you or getting in and out easily. The Poly Swivel Bar Stool by LuxCraft has a heavy-duty 360° swivel and ships fully assembled.

Counter-Height Stools

Gooddegg's current bar stool lineup is bar height only. If you need a shorter stool for a counter-height table (around 24"–26" seat height), check out Gooddegg's Counter Height Tables & Chairs collection instead.

Bar Stool Styles

Classic Backless

Clean, no-frills lines that fit almost any patio look - modern, farmhouse, or coastal. Best if you want simple seating that's easy to tuck under a bar table.

Swivel Comfort

A rounded seat and full swivel motion for a more relaxed, lounge-style feel. Best for a home bar, poolside counter, or anywhere you'll sit for longer stretches.

Materials & Finishes

HDPE Poly Lumber

Both stools are built from HDPE bar stool material - recycled, high-density plastic lumber. It won't crack, split, rot, or splinter, resists termites, and never needs painting or sealing. It's also easy to clean with just soap, water, and a hose.

Stainless Steel Hardware

Every stool uses marine-grade or stainless steel fasteners, so the hardware won't rust even with constant outdoor exposure.

Choosing the Right Bar Stool

How many colors do you want to choose from? 

The Wildridge backless stool comes in 32 color and frame combinations. The LuxCraft swivel stool offers a smaller range of Earthtone and Woodgrain finishes.

Do you want it to swivel? 

If you like turning to talk with people around you, pick the swivel stool. If you prefer a simpler, lighter stool, go backless.

How much assembly do you want to do? 

The backless Wildridge stool needs minimal assembly. The LuxCraft swivel stool ships fully assembled.

What's your budget? 

The backless stool starts at $229 (15% off). The swivel stool is $338 and up.

Size & Dimensions Guide

Both stools are true bar height patio stools, made to pair with a 40"–42" bar-height table or counter.

Bar Stools for Different Spaces

• Patio bar carts and outdoor bars - pair either stool with a bar-height serving table for entertaining.

• Poolside counters - HDPE material shrugs off pool splashes, sunscreen, and chlorine without staining.

• Covered decks and porches - weatherproof construction means no need to bring the stools inside between uses.

Outdoor Bar Stool FAQs

What is the standard height for an outdoor bar stool? 

Most outdoor bar stools sit around 29"–30" from the floor to the seat, matching a standard 40"–42" bar-height table. Both Gooddegg bar stools fall in this range.

Are HDPE bar stools waterproof? 

Yes. HDPE poly lumber does not absorb water, so it won't rot, warp, or grow mold or bacteria, even left outside year-round.

Do poly bar stools fade in the sun? 

No. The color runs all the way through the material (not just painted on the surface), so it resists fading even with years of direct sun exposure.

Is assembly required for outdoor bar stools? 

It depends on the stool. The Heritage Bar Stool by Wildridge needs minimal assembly. The Poly Swivel Bar Stool by LuxCraft ships fully assembled.

Can I use bar stools on a counter-height table instead? 

No - bar stools (around 30" seat height) are too tall for a counter-height table (around 24"–26"). For counter-height seating, see Gooddegg's Counter Height Tables & Chairs collection.
