Bar Stool Rental for Cocktails & Stands
The high stool is a practical seat for standing or semi-seated events. It goes hand in hand with cocktail tables, high tables, bars, stands, networking areas, coffee breaks, terraces or quick-service catering zones.
Solutions Événements offers high stool hire for professional and private events: after-work drinks, corporate evenings, trade shows, product launches, cocktail receptions, weddings, VIP areas, stands or retail activations.
The high stool extends guest comfort without turning the event into a seated meal. It is particularly useful when guests stay on site for more than an hour, need to talk at length, put down a glass, consult documents or chat around a high table.
It can be used to:
- furnish a bar or a counter;
- complement cocktail tables or high tables;
- fit out a professional stand;
- create a semi-seated networking area;
- offer resting points during a long cocktail reception.
The number of high stools depends on the level of comfort desired. Not every high table needs to be equipped. For a dynamic cocktail reception, a few stools are enough. For after-work drinks or a stand, it is better to plan more seating to encourage conversation.
High stools can be combined with high tables, cocktail tables, bars, counters, lounge furniture or buffet tables.
How many high stools should you plan for a cocktail reception?
For a short cocktail reception, there is no need to equip every high table. Allow around 1 high stool for every 10 to 15 guests, or 2 stools at 20 to 30% of the high tables. For a long cocktail reception or after-work drinks, increase comfort with 1 stool for every 5 to 8 guests.
How many high stools should you plan with high tables?
If you want to keep a dynamic atmosphere, plan 2 stools for only some of the high tables. For example, for 10 high tables, you can equip 3 to 5 of them with 2 stools each, i.e. 6 to 10 stools. For a more comfortable semi-seated area, count instead on 2 to 4 stools per high table.
What is the difference between a high stool and a high chair?
In the events industry, the high stool is intended for bars, cocktail tables, high tables and cocktail areas. The term high chair can be confused with baby furniture. For an event page, it is preferable to talk about high stools or bar stools.
Are high stools suitable for a trade show?
Yes, they are very well suited to stands, welcome counters, quick meeting zones or networking areas. For a stand with short exchanges, 2 to 4 stools may be enough. For a more comfortable discussion area, plan a high table with 3 or 4 stools.
What table height should you pair with a high stool?
A high stool is used with a high table, a cocktail table or a counter. The aim is for the guest to sit without being too low in relation to the top. You therefore need to check that the height of the stool is compatible with that of the table or the bar.
