Swivel Bar Stool
A swivel bar stool, unlike its original counterparts,
offers the ability to swivel around 360 degrees. This
provides comfort, as the user is able to swivel around to an
angle that is comfortable for him or her and sociability, as
he or she can swivel to talk to different people without
getting off the stool. This type of stool is commonly found
in pubs, bars, restaurants, game rooms, kitchens and even in
some backyards.
The variety that you will find when looking for a bar stool
that swivels is wide - from upholstery to design to function
- giving you the freedom to choose from modern or classic
looks to choice of upholstery, whether you prefer a stool
with cushioning or not, etc. Some stools are even equipped
with armrests and self-leveling foot levers so that you can
adjust the height of the stool to suit you.
The swivel mechanism of a bar stool of this nature can also
vary. Most importantly, they should be durable and of a good
quality. Easy and smooth rotation is key. You may also
choose stools where a spring-loaded mechanism is fitted and
the degree of rotation restricted. For example, the
mechanism may enable your swivel stool to only rotate a
maximum of 180 degrees in either direction and return back
to its original position when released. This is extremely
useful if you know that your stools might be likely to be
misused, as in the case of children playing on your swivel
stools.
As a general guide, stools should be 10 to 13 inches lower
than the height of the counter top. This ensures that they
fit easily under the counter and do not collide with the
counter top when swiveled. If you intend to use stools with
backs or armrests, do make sure that they are positioned so
that they do not collide with the counter.
Finally, when determining whether to furnish your home with
swivel bar stools,
do ensure that you get the stools made with the appropriate
materials for the room or area you wish to place them. For
example, you should be looking at stools that are made from
weather-durable material if you want to place your stools
outdoors. Have fun choosing your bar stools, they add
character to any room or area.
