Outdoor Stools

Types of outdoor stools

The range covers two major families, with distinctive features depending on where you want to use them.

Tall bar and counter stools (65-76 cm)

Ideal for aperitif counters, outdoor kitchen islands and high patio tables. The Nardi Cassia Stool and the Nardi Doga Stool are both made from recycled polypropylene, stackable, with seating around 65 cm from the ground and integrated footrest. Available in numerous colours — tobacco, cappuccino, cactus, burgundy, basalt, rope, maya, agave — they pair easily with almost any outdoor flooring or cladding finish. For those who prefer a more natural aesthetic, the Moia Greenwood Sgabello Milano features an anthracite or white metal frame with a twist wicker seat (available in grey, green and straw variants): a solution also suitable for contract settings such as bars and resorts.

Low and indoor-outdoor stools (35-47 cm)

They function as occasional seating, poolside poufs or supports for bags and trays. Compact heights and dimensions make them practical on small balconies. The DI.MO Sgabello Colby with a round seat upholstered in fabric (beige, grey or black) and metal legs is the most entry-level model in the range: suitable for mixed indoor-outdoor use, to be used on covered terraces or in a veranda.

How to choose the right outdoor stool

We have selected these models to answer concrete needs that our customers often ask us: how tall should it be? Will it withstand outdoors all year round? How do you store it in winter?

Based on counter height

Measure your counter or high table first: for surfaces 90-95 cm high, choose seating at 60-65 cm, leaving 25-30 cm difference for leg comfort. For counters 100-110 cm high, like taller outdoor kitchen islands, you need seating at 70-75 cm. The Nardi Cassia Stool in the 76 cm version covers this second scenario. If instead you're looking for seating for a standard table, also consider outdoor chairs, which are more suitable for surfaces at 72-75 cm.

Based on style and material

Polypropylene moulded in a single block (Nardi, Bizzotto) is the most practical choice for completely exposed spaces: it won't fear rain, requires no periodic treatments and can be washed with warm neutral soapy water. Interwoven synthetic wicker (Moia Greenwood Milano) adds visual warmth and recalls rattan style without the deterioration problems of natural materials. For covered terraces or verandas, upholstered stools like the DI.MO Colby add comfort without sacrificing practicality.

Match the stools to outdoor tables or to outdoor extendable tables from the same range to achieve a coordinated composition, or check the complete proposals from Bizzotto outdoor furniture if you want a single stylistic line.

Based on available space

Stackable stools (Nardi Cassia and Doga) overlap up to 6-8 units, freeing up space when not in use. Allow at least 60 cm of free area around each one to ease movement. On very narrow terraces, consider models with compact seating (35-40 cm diameter). For more complete setups with armchairs and lounges, also look at outdoor sofas and armchairs.

Frequently asked questions about outdoor stools

What height to choose for outdoor bar stools?

For counters 90-95 cm high, choose stools with seating at 60-65 cm, leaving approximately 25-30 cm between seat and surface. For counters 100-110 cm high, opt for seating at 70-75 cm, like the Nardi Cassia Stool at 76 cm. Always measure your counter before ordering.

Do polypropylene stools withstand direct sun all year round?

Yes, provided they have UV treatment, which protects colours and surfaces from fading and embrittlement. Nardi recycled polypropylene models are certified for contract use and can remain outdoors all year round without needing covers. Operating temperatures generally range from -20 °C to +60 °C.

How many stools can be stacked without risk?

Stackable models such as the Nardi Cassia Stool and Doga Stool allow you to stack up to 6-8 units. The geometries are designed for stable stacking. Make sure the base surface is flat and preferably sheltered from strong winds during storage.

How do you clean outdoor polypropylene stools?

Simply use warm water and neutral soap with a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive detergents or solvents that can scratch surfaces. For stubborn stains, let the soap work for a few minutes before rinsing. No additional periodic treatment is necessary.

Does the Moia Greenwood synthetic wicker seat get damaged by rain?

Synthetic twist wicker does not absorb water like natural wicker and does not rot. It is designed for extended outdoor use. However, to best preserve the metal frame during winter months, a cover or light shelter can extend the product's lifespan.
