Is there anything for your home that you can't buy at Wayfair? If there is, we sure haven't found it yet. When it comes to barstools, you simply won't find another retailer that even comes remotely close to offering Wayfair's inventory - which has doubled since our last evaluation of the store. Yes, it's true: Wayfair gives you over 26,000 options for barstools and counter stools for every imaginable style, height, and price point.

Use filters to your advantage

Unless you have a ton of free time on your hands, you'll want to make good use of Wayfair's filters to see only the barstools that fit the space you have in mind. What's important to you? Of course, you should already have the measurements taken, to know if you need counter height or bar height, but you can also select the seat height in the filters. What about the back style? Color? Fast delivery to your zip code? How about weight capacity or even sustainably-made furniture? All of those and more can be found in the filters here, making Wayfair extremely easy to shop.

You can find high-end barstools here

It's usually fun to see what the most expensive product is for any Wayfair category, but in our most recent shopping visit the highest-end barstool wasn't quite as ridiculous as the last time (priced at $10,000+ for a set of two). This go-around, the Windsor Swivel Bar Stool by Jonathan Charles Fine Furniture took the prize, priced at $4,699 per chair. Sadly, there were no customer reviews for this barstool with "a revolving mechanism set above four cabriole legs and an undulating rail" - fancy!

Tons of customer ratings on individual barstools

Most barstools at Wayfair, though, have plenty of customer reviews you can consider. For example, one of this retailer's most popular and affordable options is the Biggerstaff Backless Metal Indoor-Outdoor Counter Height Stool with Square Seat by Zipcode Design. With over 21,000 customer ratings averaging a perfect five stars, this barstool is a bargain at just $79.99 (on sale from the original retail price of $159).

All the information you need

We can't get over how easy Wayfair makes it to shop. Even as you browse the results in your list, you can see if it has more than one color option (like those Biggerstaff barstools? Over two dozen colors available), the current and list price, and whether or not it comes with free shipping (hint: you won't find many barstools that don't ship for free). Use the little heart icon to mark any seating that's a favorite, so you can see them all in one place. The product information here is also extensive, whether you're buying a $2,000 cutting-edge design to match your magazine-worthy decor or something inexpensive to put outside on the patio - but Wayfair keeps all of that thoughtfully tucked away in dropdowns, so you're not bombarded with any information you don't care about.

Returns aren't the most convenient

The only downsides to buying your barstools from Wayfair relate to returns. Since this is an internet-only mega-retailer, you don't have the convenience of taking your chairs back to a local store near you. The 30-day return period isn't the most generous we've ever seen, and you'll be responsible for paying the return shipping fees - and for taking apart any barstools that required assembly.

"A+" from the BBB

Wayfair does a brisk business in all things home, and as such it's no surprise that the company has received over 1,800 complaints at the BBB in the last year. Still, the Better Business Bureau gives Wayfair an "A+" rating and accreditation, largely because of the company's 100% response track record. And, of course, for any barstools you're thinking of buying, you'll probably be able to see exactly what shoppers thought of them in the product reviews - which is much more pertinent to your purchase than general customer reviews about their dog toys falling apart or their rug being delivered to the wrong address.

Best overall for barstool selection and prices

If you're in the market for barstools, look no further than Wayfair. Seriously, they've got it all: amazing prices, thousands of options, and a website that's a breeze to navigate. And here's the best part: Wayfair gives you all the details you need to make an informed purchase. You can see the size, style, and even get a feel for how the stools will look in your space before you even click "buy". It's like they've thought of everything. In case you haven't picked up on it yet, we're big fans of Wayfair's barstool selection. They've earned our highest recommendation, and we're confident they'll earn yours too.
