Bar stools can be a fabulous addition to most homes. They add some flair to an otherwise plain setting. Once only found in bars and taverns, these stools have been transformed. It is now very common to find bar stools in residential settings. Look around and you will find hundreds of different types of bar stools.
Historically, bar stools were 30 inches high to match with a standard height bar. However, designers began to make a shorter 24" bar stool. The height of the stool depends on the table height to be serviced in most cases. There are instances when the stool is not meant to service a table, such as a musicians stool or an artists stool. Bars and restaurants generally prefer to have the higher models.
The lower bar stool is primarily suited for homes. The shorter stools are well suited for all members of the family including children and those with slight mobility problems. You can often find 24 inch bar stools pulled up to breakfast bars. These bars are a relatively new house design element. The use of these bars expands beyond eating breakfast. They are used for socializing, doing homework, eating, and reading the paper.
When choosing a bar stool you must make a decision about the type of seat that suits you best. There are fixed seat bar stools and swivel seat barstools. There are pros and cons to both. The fixed seat stool tends to be less expensive as it is not necessary to pay for the swivel mechanism. The swivel seat bar stool takes up slightly more lateral space but is generally a more convenient stool. There is no need to push the stool back from the table as you can simply turn the seat and your knees away from the table when you wish to get up.
Another factor to consider when purchasing a bar stool is whether the stool will have a back. There are also pros and cons to backless barstools. Bar stools without a back are generally lighter and take up less space. This type of stool can fit into small quarters. However, backless bar stools are less comfortable. You will need to decide on which variety suits you by considering your space, the need for comfort, and your budget.
As you can see from the foregoing, you have a lot of options when it comes to picking the right bar stool for your home. Think about your needs. For example, is comfort the most important aspect? If so, you should choose a swivel seat bar stool with a back. Is your space at a premium? If so, perhaps you should choose a backless bar stool. Think about your needs and make the right choice. - 32406
