1. Michael Crichton is generally regarded as the tallest person to have occupied a directors chair in an official capacity. The writer/director of films such as Westworld was 6 feet 9 inches tall. Our tall directors chairs have seats that are generally 30 inches.
2. The standard height of a kitchen counter is about 36 inches, and most counter height directors chairs have seats that are 24 inches.
3. The table top of a bar is typically between 40 and 42 inches high. A foot of leg room (no pun intended) is considered a comfortable standard, so look for a 30-inch model when shopping for bar height directors chairs.
4. Some of our favorite filmmakers to have occupied directors chairs are actually the shortest. They include Martin Scorsese (5 feet 4 inches), the great Woody Allen (5 feet 5 inches), Spike Lee (5 feet 6 inches), and Charlie Chaplin (5 feet 5 inches). Channel your own favorite director in one of our chairs.
5. A portable bar or counter height directors chair is a useful indoor/outdoor accessory for entertaining at a home bar, recreation room, or patio and BBQ area. They're great to toss in the car for tailgating, too.
