Leather Bar Stools Make A Classy Kitchen

By Matt Allan

In days gone by leather furniture and leather bar stools were in the sole domain of the rich and powerful. They often graced the offices of lawyers or were perhaps hidden away in private men's clubs. The types of clubs filled with the hushed tones of powerful business men and politicians. Even though those days are gone, nothing quite adds a touch of elegance like leather bar stools, and now these bar stools are affordable to all.

Today leather bar stools are becoming more and more common. They can be found in very average commercial ventures and middle class homes. In many ways leather furniture makes a lot of sense. Not only are these bar stools comfortable but accidental spills can very often be taken care of with a damp cloth. Leather is also very durable which adds years to the lifespan of your bar stool. There are definitely more inexpensive leather bar stool made with inferior or B grade leather but bar stools made with Grade A or first quality leather can look good for years.

On today's market he stools are available in either the standard 30" or the shorter 24" styles. It goes without saying that the height of the stool must match the height of the bar or perhaps table that is to be serviced by the stools. The smaller 24" stools are often the best choice if they are to be used by children however, the height will depend entirely on the height of the table of bar.

Leather bar stools are available in any color you can imagine. I have personally seen dark tan, light tan, black, green, white, brown and red stools. Specially commissioned made bar stools can be manufactured in any color your heart desires. The legs of the bar stool can be stained a natural wood colour or painted or covered in leather.

These stools also come in a natural colored leather sling version which has a bit of a tex-mex aura. You can find stools with backs and arms, stools with only backs and stools without backs at all. Stools with a cushioned seat are generally more comfortable than those without but you might find that they don't wear as well as the foam loses some of it's form. The stool you chose is all a matter of personal choice.

Did we mention that leather bar stools are easy to clean? With a moderate bit of care, these stools can serve your family for decades. If you see some wearing on the arms of the stool you might want to rub in some protective oil. Make sure you wipe off excess oil before anyone sits on the stool. To further protect your leather furniture you can spray on a leather protector when you first purchase the chairs and every six months thereafter. Leather furniture seems to look richer as it ages. Good quality leather bar stools are well worth the cost. - 32406
