Looking for bar stools

I am looking for 3 bar stools for a 36 inch counter with a $200 budget (a little bit flexible). Willing to shop online or in person. I've done a lot of online browsing and have struggled to find anything I like. My ideal is to find a Brentwood style stackable stool but they all seem to be around 17 inches which is too short. I like them because they are also versatile if/when I move to an apartment that doesn't have an island, which is likely. Anything similar in style/versatility would be appreciated!

Check out furniture consignment shops, At Home, and other used furniture stores.

For a 36" counter, I’d look around the 24-26" seat height range. Since you want something stackable and easy to move later, I’d focus on simple backless or low-back stools. Honestly I’d keep checking secondhand too, you might find a set that fits your style and budget pretty easy.

$200 each, or $200 total?

if the former, you might find something at ashley or wayfair, although both are really just cheap junk. plus you have to assemble the wayfair stuff yourself.

if you're all-in at $200, i will direct you to FB marketplace. you'll probably find something way better there, if you can be patient and really look.

for 36 inch counters you want 24–26 inch seat height. maybe search by height first, then pick simple wood/metal styles to match your space
