Juiluna Counter Height Bar Stools Set of 2 vs Nathan James Dahlia Counter Stools Set of 4

Buy the Nathan James set of 4 if you need to seat a whole counter and want the higher-rated stool with a tested upholstery and a low back. Buy the Juiluna pair if you want armrests, a taller 26-inch seat and a higher weight rating, and only need two stools. Reviewers rate the Nathan James higher (4.9 from 131 ratings versus 4.5 from 77), but the Juiluna is the sturdier build on paper with its 330 lb capacity and tapered metal legs.

• Choose the Juiluna if you want armrests, a 26-inch seat for a taller counter, and a 330 lb weight capacity, and two stools cover your space.
• Choose the Nathan James Dahlia if you need four matching stools, prefer a low backrest and wipe-clean faux leather, and want the better-reviewed set.
