Bar Stools – The versatile pieces of furniture at home or commercial places

Bar stools are very widely used at homes these days, as they are very versatile and movable. They are the ultimate space saving type of seating used in the world where space is an issue.

So many homes also have bar height counters or breakfast islands and some even have built-in bars, hence the demand is now greater than ever.

As the demand is high, many office furniture suppliers have now begun to offer this piece of furniture as standard and as many styles and colours are available, you need to find out what style exactly it is you’re looking for and consider a number of factors before buying your next set of kitchen stools.

What are they made of?

There are all types of bar stools upholstered in different materials such as fabric, leather, suede and even wooden bar stools with the main construction from bentwood. They also come with different characteristics such as arms; no arms, with back or no back and some feature adjustable heights whilst some are only fixed height.

Which type to choose?

Generally speaking, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about getting your new stools is the fact that they are height adjustable or not, but there is more important factor to consider, such as footrest as you want to ensure that your feet are in total comfort as the footrest will provide a spot for your feet to rest. You would agree that your feet would not reach the floor if you want to make yourself comfy on a chair at your breakfast bar for the morning meal.

The next thing that comes to mind would perhaps be the arms, as a lot of people would prefer arms which provide more comfort, however on the other hand, they would stop you from tucking them underneath your breakfast bar if space is an issue. If you want more comfort and have enough space, then you might want to consider having arms on your chairs.

One factor that is not absolutely necessary but still advantageous is height adjustment, if you have height adjustability, then you’d be able to accommodate different people with different heights, comfortably at your bar or Breakfast Island, however fixed height stools will limit you as to who can use the chair, i.e. a child or an adult.

The last feature that you may want to get with your bar stools is to have a backrest. As you would appreciate, back support is ideal for homes with children to ensure they have more safety, they also provide that extra comfort whilst you are enjoying your coffee or tea over a friendly chat on the phone or whilst browsing the Internet. On the hand, backless bar stools are more traditional in appearance and more common for typical bar seating that you might find at a commercial places. They also encourage correct posture by forcing you to sit upright while aligning your spine.
