Stools sit between the kitchen island, the breakfast bar and the counter, so height and use decide the choice. At Oboe, a family business founded in 1987 with showrooms in Málaga and Marbella, this category brings together 54 designer stools for homes across the Costa del Sol. Below you will find bar and counter heights, indoor and outdoor models, and the brands we work with.
How to choose bar and counter stools
Two measurements matter. Counter stools suit a standard kitchen island or worktop, leaving room for legs and a comfortable seat. Bar stools are taller and pair with raised bar counters. Measure the underside of the surface, then allow a comfortable gap between seat and counter so knees clear and it is easy to sit. Consider the use: a footrest and backrest help at a long breakfast, while a lower backless stool tucks away neatly. For kitchen counter stools on the Costa del Sol, weigh the flooring and how often the stool will move.
Brands and models at Oboe
The category holds work from Andreu World, with nine models, and Enea, with seven, alongside HAY, Tribu, Sancal and Mdf Italia. You will also find Ethnicraft, Vitra, &Tradition, Gubi, Gervasoni, Kettal, Vondom and Treku. The Andreu World and Enea ranges cover both counter and bar heights, so an Andreu World or Enea stool works for a Málaga kitchen or dining area. For outdoor bars, Tribu, Kettal and Vondom offer options. See the full list on our all brands page.
How to order
Any model in the catalogue can be ordered. Ask for a quote from the product page, or book an appointment at our Marbella showroom near Puerto Banús or our Málaga showrooms to discuss finishes and heights with an adviser. Our own team handles delivery and assembly across Andalusia. If you are pairing designer bar stools in Marbella with a wider scheme, our interior design service can plan the kitchen and dining area together. The whole team works in English.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose a bar or counter stool?
Measure your surface first. A standard worktop takes a counter stool; a raised bar counter takes a taller bar stool. Leave a comfortable gap between seat and surface so it is easy to sit. Tell us the height when you request a quote and we will confirm the right models.
Can I order outdoor stools?
Yes. Tribu, Kettal and Vondom appear in this category with models suited to terraces and outdoor bars. Our guide on outdoor furniture by the sea may help you compare finishes and materials.
Can I order an Andreu World or Enea stool in Málaga?
Yes. Both brands are in our catalogue and any model can be ordered. Book an appointment at our Málaga showrooms to review heights and finishes, then request a quote. Delivery and assembly are handled by our own team across Andalusia.
