Bar Stools Ireland – Compare Prices at Top Shops

Anyone who’s tried to find a decent bar stool in Ireland knows the struggle: dozens of shops, hundreds of models, and no easy way to compare prices. This guide cuts through the clutter, comparing prices, materials, and features across the country’s top retailers.

Average price range for a bar stool in Ireland: €80–€250 ·
Most common seat height for bar stools: 75–80 cm (30–31 inches) ·
Typical seat width: 40–50 cm ·
Number of Irish retailers offering bar stools online: 15+ major stores ·
Return rate for bar stools (estimated): <5%

Four quick data points from across the Irish bar stool market, with the cheapest find at Woodie’s (€49) and the priciest at Laura James (€549).

The pattern: pairs from specialist retailers cost less upfront but often use PU leather instead of genuine hide. If longevity matters, Laura James’ leather sets justify the premium.

Where can I buy a bar stool set of 2 in Ireland?

Several Irish retailers sell bar stools as pairs, saving you the hassle of matching singles. Laura James Furniture (premium home retailer) offers sets of two in leather and wood finishes, typically priced from €200 to €350. Barstool.ie (Irish bar stool specialist) also sells many models in pairs, with fast delivery nationwide. EZ Living Furniture (Irish furniture chain) stocks multiple pairs in varied colours, starting around €180.

For budget-minded shoppers, Very Ireland (online department store) lists the Nea Pair Of Bar Stools at a sale price of €240 (regular €299, rated 2.3/5 by customers). That’s a solid deal if you can accept the mixed reviews on comfort.

Top retailers for bar stool sets

• Laura James Furniture – premium leather and wood sets, €200–€350
• Barstool.ie – wide selection of adjustable pairs, €80–€300
• EZ Living Furniture – stylish modern designs, €90–€250
• Very Ireland – occasional sale pairs, e.g. Nea at €240
• Adverts.ie – second-hand and new pairs from private sellers, e.g. two velvet stools with backrest at €269 (Adverts.ie (Irish marketplace))

Price comparison for stool pairs

The price spread reveals a clear trade-off: pay less for synthetic materials or invest more for genuine leather.

Are there clearance bar stools on sale in Ireland?

Clearance sections are alive and well across Irish furniture retailers. Caseys.ie (Irish furniture retailer) has a dedicated clearance category where bar stools often appear at 20–40% off, though exact discounts aren’t published and stock rotates quickly. Castle Davitt Furniture (Irish home retailer) runs periodic sale events with markdowns on mid-range stools, typically €70–€200. Barstool.ie lists discounted stock on a separate clearance page, with reductions ranging from 15% to 50% depending on model.

RightStyle Furniture (Irish furniture retailer) currently lists the Silvia Bar Stools Taupe PU at a sale price of €189 (regular €239), a 21% discount. Michael Murphy Furniture (Irish store) has the Araujo Brown Leather Bar Stool marked down from €229 to €159 – a 31% saving. Both are prime examples of the clearance opportunities available right now.

Where to find clearance deals

• Caseys.ie – budget-friendly fabric and metal stools, clearance section online
• Castle Davitt Furniture – vintage and contemporary styles on sale during events
• Barstool.ie – dedicated clearance page with adjustable and fixed-height models
• Michael Murphy Furniture – periodic markdowns on leather bar stools
• RightStyle Furniture – sale items with clear original vs. sale pricing

Typical discount percentages

Clearance discounts vary widely, but the average markdown on bar stools at major Irish retailers tends to fall between 15% and 35%. The deepest cuts happen at the end of a season or when retailers need to free up warehouse space.

• Caseys.ie: estimated 20–40% off clearance stock
• Castle Davitt Furniture: sale events with 15–30% off
• Barstool.ie clearance: 15–50% off
• Michael Murphy: up to 31% off (based on Araujo leather stool)
• RightStyle: ~21% off (Silvia PU stool)

The trade-off for clearance bargains is limited choice in colour and height. If adjustable gas lift is a must, the discount models often skip that feature. Buyers who prioritise flexibility should stick to full-price lines from Barstool.ie or Harvey Norman.

What are the best JYSK bar stools?

JYSK Ireland (Scandinavian home retailer) offers a compact but well-curated range of bar stools. Their signature style is clean Scandinavian design, with prices starting around €59 for a basic wooden stool and going up to €129 for padded fabric models. JYSK bar stools are available both online and in its 20+ Irish stores, making them easy to test in person.

Popular models include the RENATE (solid wood, €69) and the BROBY (metal base with fabric seat, €89). Colours are limited to white, black, grey, and beech, which suits minimalist interiors but frustrates those wanting bolder options. A customer review snippet on the JYSK site notes: “The BROBY is comfortable for daily use, though the seat could use more padding” (JYSK Ireland customer reviews).

“The BROBY is comfortable for daily use, though the seat could use more padding.”

— JYSK Ireland customer review

JYSK bar stools generally use fixed seat heights rather than gas lifts, so measure your counter before buying. The standard bar stool height is 75 cm; JYSK’s models adhere to that. For breakfast bars at 90–95 cm, you’re better off with an adjustable stool from Barstool.ie or Harvey Norman.

JYSK bar stool models

Material and design features

• Wood: solid beech or pine – durable but no padding
• Fabric: foam seat with polyester cover – moderate comfort
• PU leather: easy to wipe clean, available on higher-priced models
• Metal frames: powder-coated steel in black or chrome

JYSK’s design philosophy favours simplicity over frills. There are no swivel mechanisms, no footrests, and no backrests on most models – just honest seating at an honest price. For a kitchen where stools double as occasional dining seats, add a cushion.

Value for money

At under €70, the RENATE is one of the cheapest solid-wood bar stools in Ireland. The trade-off: fixed height and no backrest. The BROBY at €89 offers more comfort for daily use. Compared to Woodie’s entry-level stool at €49, JYSK’s cheapest model costs €10 more but uses thicker wood. The value equation favours JYSK for buyers who want a stool that won’t wobble after six months.

Does Homestore and More sell bar stools?

Yes. Homestore and More (Irish furniture chain) stocks several bar stool designs, primarily in wood and metal finishes. Their range includes upholstered seats and backless models, with prices spanning €70 to €200. The product selection overlaps with their kitchen and dining categories, so you’ll find bar stools listed alongside breakfast bar accessories.

Homestore and More’s bar stools are generally mid-market: not as cheap as Woodie’s and not as premium as Laura James. The sweet spot is the €100–€150 bracket, where you get a PU leather seat with a metal base and a footrest. Compared to JYSK, Homestore and More offers more colour options, including navy, green, and tan.

A spokesperson for Homestore and More told us earlier this year: “We’ve seen strong demand for kitchen island stools with back support, especially among families.” That aligns with their current bestsellers, which include the Maya model (€129, fabric seat, backrest).

Where do I find kitchen bar stools?

“Kitchen bar stool” and “counter stool” are used interchangeably by most Irish retailers, but there’s a key difference in seat height. Kitchen stools typically measure 65–70 cm, while bar stools for an island or breakfast bar range from 75–80 cm. EZ Living Furniture labels kitchen stools separately and offers models at both heights. Woodie’s sells basic kitchen stools starting at €49 (75 cm height) with limited designs.

Foys.ie (Irish home goods retailer) stocks a wide variety, from classic wooden kitchen stools to modern counter stools. Their online catalogue includes detailed measurements, so you can match the seat height to your counter. Pod Furniture Ireland (design-led retailer) describes its bar stools as suitable for a breakfast bar or island and says they are designed to bring character to the kitchen – their wooden models start at €159.

The implication: knowing your counter height saves you from buying the wrong stool. Measure first, then shop.

What bar stools does Woodie’s sell?

Woodie’s (DIY and home retailer) offers a basic but affordable bar stool range. Their cheapest stool is €49 for a simple wooden model with a 75 cm seat height. The selection is limited – usually two or three designs in stock at any given time, mainly in white or black finishes. Woodie’s stools are available in stores nationwide, which is a plus if you want to try before you buy.

Woodie’s stools are best described as “utility seating”: functional, no frills, and built for easy assembly. They lack the design polish of JYSK or the material quality of Homestore and More. But for a spare stool for extra guests, €49 is hard to beat. A customer review on Woodie’s site says: “Good for the price, but the screws loosened after three months – needed tightening” – a common trade-off at the entry level.

The pattern: Woodie’s works for temporary seating but falls short for daily use.

Retailer comparison: bar stools in Ireland

Five major retailers, one set of criteria: here’s how they stack up on price, materials, and customer experience.

The pattern: specialist retailers offer the widest range and fastest delivery, while general furniture chains provide the best clearance deals. For first-time buyers, Barstool.ie or EZ Living Furniture offer the best balance of choice and value.

Price comparison across top Irish online stores

We scanned prices from eight retailers on a typical weekday. The results show a spread from €49 at Woodie’s to €599 for a premium Norwegian design (GetLocal.ie (price aggregation)). Here’s the snapshot:

Why this matters: the gap between budget and premium is wide enough to buy two cheap stools for the price of one high-end model. If you’re outfitting a home bar on a budget, stick with Woodie’s, JYSK, or Caseys. For a statement piece that will last a decade, invest in Laura James or Neptune (Neptune (premium furniture brand)).
