The island has absorbed the role of the dining table, and the stool has absorbed the role of the dining chair without inheriting its ergonomics: a seat conceived for brief perching is now occupied for breakfast, homework and hours of hybrid working. The report is explicit that no published UK dataset measures wellbeing outcomes from bar seating and that no survey fieldwork was carried out, so its findings are specification led. It identifies four interacting factors that determine comfort over time: seat to counter clearance of 25 cm to 30 cm measured from the underside of the worktop, a platform footrest positioned 45 cm to 50 cm below the seat, back support with a slight recline for sitting beyond half an hour, and seat depth of 38 cm to 42 cm. It also notes how widely British counter heights vary.
