Import bar stools or dining chairs from China: compare seat heights and prices
Choose seating to fit the table or counter first. Dining chairs, counter stools and bar stools have different seat heights; the product’s overall height includes its backrest. Compare the actual models below, then confirm material, quantity and packing. Prices cover the goods only; sea freight to your port is quoted separately.
Choose by seat height, not the product name
- Measure the height of the tabletop or counter and the clear space underneath, including any frame or apron.
- Compare the stated seat height with those measurements. Check legroom, the footrest and arm clearance, and try a sample where possible.
- Plan table seating and counter seating separately. Choose quantities for the room layout; confirm the minimum for every model, material and finish.

These are individual model examples, not a ranking of every item in the stool category. The listed volume is reproduced without multiplying it by quantity: when several pieces share a carton, confirm whether that volume is per piece or per carton. Request final carton dimensions, gross weight and protective packing for a freight quote.
Questions buyers ask
Can I use the overall stool height to choose a seat?
Use the stated seat height. Overall dimensions can include the backrest and do not establish the seating level. If the listing has no seat height, request it before choosing a model or ordering.
Can I order samples or mix models and colours?
Ask for the exact model, material and colour reference. Confirm sample availability, price and shipping separately. A mixed shipment can be requested, but each model and finish retains its own minimum; confirm collection timing and packing before consolidation.
Are these models suitable for daily restaurant use?
Suitability needs confirmation for the chosen specification. Ask about frame construction, upholstery composition, cleaning, load limits and applicable durability or fire test reports. A catalogue name or material alone does not prove commercial performance.
Which chair or stool takes less room in a shipment?
Compare the final packing lists for the same number of pieces. Carton dimensions, nesting, assembly and protection affect volume; a stool is not automatically smaller in transport. Do not compare a per-piece volume with a per-carton volume.
Do the displayed prices include freight, customs or delivery?
No. The prices shown here are catalogue goods prices. Sea freight, origin handling, insurance if requested, destination charges, import duty, taxes, clearance and delivery from the port need a separate, itemised quote with the included costs stated.
Do I need a full container or pay on this site?
You can request a quote for a smaller or mixed order, subject to model minimums and a suitable shipping option. The site takes no payment. The enquiry is not a purchase; quantities, availability, packing, price and freight are agreed with a manager.
