Default Bar Countertop Construction

I want to build a breakfast bar ... made for use with 30 inch bar
stools. Is there a preferred height and depth for the top?

Thanks for help,

geezer

my rule of thumb is to add 12" to seat height to get counter /bar
height

I googled ....... stool bar height difference

an adjustable counter height could be anywhere from wheelchair use to
barstool use heights.
if there is an overhang toward your waist under which the stool's seat
would fit, add a foot for thighs and put the countertop at your seated
elbow's height.
i would personally check the focal length for reading the newspaper
fine print, too.
