Choosing Bar Stool

How to choose bar stool

Barstools were originally designed to furnish bars and pubs - with three legs to provide ample support and to hold the weight and rough handling of any drunkard. Today, however, this piece of furniture can also be found in restaurants and homes - kitchens, game rooms, living rooms, even backyards.

Often known as counter stools, the types of bar stools are available in a wide variety and offer great flexibility when it comes to design, aesthetics and function. From the swivel bar stool to the adjustable bar stool; from the elegant leather bar stool to the classic wood bar stool, these furnishings are fast catching up as a preferred choice of seating.

The price of a counter stool can range from reasonable to expensive, depending heavily on the materials used to make the stool as well as the mechanisms used to operate its functions (if any).

Before choosing a type of stool to buy, you must first determine why you want a counter stool of this sort. Bearing in mind that a barstool is able to hold the weight of even a Sumo wrestler, this piece of furniture is built to last you a long, long time. Where you want to place these stools will also help to determine the type of seating that might be suitable. For example, if you're intending to decorate your outdoors (like a backyard, for example) with counter stools, you might want to choose stools designed and built with materials that are able to withstand the weather. Choosing stools that are wooden or stools that have seat cushioning might prove to be detrimental to the life expectancy of your piece of furniture.

Swivel stools are a great option as they contain a mechanism that enables the seat of your stool to rotate 360 degrees easily. If you have children at home, however, you might want to consider restricting the degree of rotation of your stools as they might find the swivel function a novelty and make rough use of your stool. Adjustable counter stools are another type of stool that offers increased functionality. These are commonly fitted with a self-leveling foot glide that allows you to adjust the height of the stool so that it offers optimal comfort for the user.

The décor of your interior is another important factor in helping you determine the type of stool to buy. For example, if you've got a traditional theme going in your home, you might prefer to look for stools made with darker woods and comfortable cushioning made from soft, warm fabrics to add a touch of richness to the ambience of the room. On the other hand, a country look might call for stools that are wooden and stained in two complementary shades to create an inviting feel. You might also prefer a more modern look instead and find that counter stools made from metals fit in well with this feel.

Additional features of a counter stool could include footrests, armrests and even backing. As a general guide, a stool designed for a bar should be approximately 10 to 13 inches lower than the counter top so that it can simply slide under the counter for easy storage.

At the end of the day, the type of stool you choose will depend on your personal preference. A bar stool is a great choice for seating that not only provides comfort and ease of use but one that lasts the test of time.
