The 2026 Stool Edit featuring the Solid Ash Scandinavian Stool, Replica Tooth Stool, and Ozone Outdoor Stool.

The Stool Edit: Best Kitchen & Bar Stools for 2026

At Replica Furniture, we stock over 100 different types of stools. But unlike other retailers who leave you to scroll through thousands of generic options, we believe in curation.

Our design team has analysed the sales data and upcoming trends to bring you The 2026 Stool Edit. These are the styles that are actually working in Australian homes right now—from the "low profile" trends to the ultimate outdoor survivors.

1. The "Low Stool" Trend (45cm)

Also known as "apron height" or "occasional stools," these 45cm wonders are trending because they are versatile. They sit at the same height as a standard dining chair, making them perfect for flexible seating.

Why they are trending:

They double as side tables. The Replica Tooth Stool and the new colours in our Replica Prince AHA and Hourglass ranges are sculptural pieces that look just as good next to a bathtub or sofa as they do at a low table.

2. Best Kitchen Stools (65cm Counter Height)

This is the most critical category for Australian renovations. Most domestic kitchen islands have a bench height of 90cm. For this, you absolutely need a 65cm (Counter Height) stool.

The Bestseller: Scandinavian Bar Stool (Ash)

While competitors sell cheap veneer versions, our Scandinavian Bar Stool is crafted from Solid Ash Timber. It’s our #1 bestseller because it offers the warmth of natural wood with a durability that veneer simply cannot match.

The All-Rounder: Bordeaux Stacking Stool

The newly arrived Bordeaux Stool is a true hybrid. Not only is it sleek and fully stackable, but it is also UV-stabilized and outdoor suitable. It transitions effortlessly from the kitchen bench to the outdoor deck—perfect for indoor-outdoor Australian living.

The Family Favourite: Replica Hans Wegner Elbow Stool

If you have kids doing homework at the bench, you need back support. The Replica Hans Wegner Elbow Stool provides a proper timber backrest and a padded seat, bridging the gap between a dining chair and a stool.

3. Best Outdoor Stools (UV Stabilized)

Queensland sun destroys cheap furniture. If you are buying for an uncovered deck or poolside bar, you must check the materials.

The Summer Essential: Ozone Stool

The Ozone Stool is engineered specifically for our climate. It is UV-stabilized, meaning it won't chalk or fade like standard plastics. It is also waterproof and stackable, making it the smartest investment for your outdoor entertaining area.
