Quick Picks: Best Bar Stools

How to Choose the Best Bar Stool?

Step 1. Choose Height and Size

When choosing your bar stools, the first thing you need is to define the size of your dining table or bar stand. Then you may start looking for suitable chairs. You will find it more comfortable to lean your elbows on the counter without bending. The optimal difference between the height of the tabletop and the seat is about 12”. If your bar stand height is 42”, then your bar stool may not be higher than 30”.  Most bar stool models have a standard seat height of 29-30”.

Many modern models are equipped with a gas-lift mechanism. The seat height may be adjusted easily with this technology (usually from 22” to 29”).

A model with an adjustable stand is worth buying if you your family members’ height differs greatly, or you meet guests regularly, or you want to use such a chair not only at the bar counter, but also with the usual size table. A model with an adjustable stand is worth buying if you your family members’ height differs greatly, or you meet guests regularly, or you want to use such a chair not only at the bar counter, but also with the usual size table.

Step 2. Choose a Convenient Design

The design of such type of furniture as bar stools is very diverse. The tips below will help to define the best and most comfortable outlook for you.

1. Stools Without Backrest

Stools are a great option for a small apartment. They may be placed easily under the counter or high table. They occupy less space. However, it is inconvenient to sit on them for a longtime. It is worth buying stools if you use the bar counter only for quick breakfasts or snacks.

2. Chairs with Different Heights Backs

They are more comfortable than stools are. If you use the counter as a dining table or you are sitting with a laptop or tablet by the table for a long time, you would better choose the most ergonomic chair model with a high back. Your own backbone will thank you.

3. Folding Bar Stools

This is a good stools alternative in a small kitchen. If necessary, you can fold and store them in the pantry or closet.

4. Armchairs with Backrest and Armrests

This is the most comfortable option to sit for a long time.

A comfortable bar stool is sure to have a footrest. The stronger and more solid it is, the better. The footrest provides support while sitting and makes the chair sturdier.

If the seat height is adjustable, please check if the footrest height may be adjusted as well. Otherwise, when the seat is up, the legs will be hanging in the air.

Bar stools usually have four legs or one chrome plated stand with a wide round or square base. Spectacular designer three-legged stools look cool, but are less stable and are not comfortable for families with children.

Step 3. Choose Material

If you have not yet decided on the material, let’s see what furniture shops offer as an option.

1. Chrome or Brushed Steel

Bar chairs made of metal or with a metal frame are the most reliable, durable and unpretentious.

2. Colored or Transparent Plastic

This is the most inexpensive option and easy to maintain. Transparent bar stools made of polycarbonate are “invisible”. They are visually “dissolved” and are perfect with a small kitchen or a small studio. However, cheap material is easily scratched. Moreover, the units entirely made of plastic, are not suitable for people with solid weight.

3. Wood

Wooden bar stools are beautiful and lovely to touch. They may be painted (usually white or black) or have a natural wooden shade. In such a case, wood is slightly tinted, impregnated with oil or protected with varnish.

Please note: bar stools made of wood usually may not swivel and a seat may not be height-adjustable. In this case, choose the stool height carefully.

4. Wicker or Rattan (Natural or Artificial)

Wicker bar stools and rattan chairs are durable, lightweight and practical. It is also a great way to make the interior of the kitchen or living room relaxed and vacation-style.

Step 4. How to Choose Bar Stools Suitable for the Interior Style
