Bar Stools
Bar stools can be both decorative and functional. They can be used to spice up a kitchen that features a breakfast bar. A dull unimaginative stool will certainly go unnoticed whereas an attractive and elegant set will transform your kitchen into an inviting and enchanting place to hang around in.
These high chairs are usually made of either wood or metal, with plain or upholstered seats. Choose a material that is easy to clean if you prefer upholstered seats. You can have a backrest if you plan on sitting for long periods on your stool. If you want armrests too, be sure the arms fit underneath the kitchen bar.
The height of the seats varies from 17 to 31 inches. If you are purchasing them for an existing bar, look for one that has a height between 10 to 13 inches lower than the counter. Thus, if your kitchen counter is 36 inches high, buy a chair with a height between 23 and 26 inches. Of course, if you are still building or remodeling your kitchen, you can first purchase the stools that suit your fancy, or height, and build your kitchen counter to suit them.
With great stools in the kitchen counter, you can transform your cooking area into a great gathering place for the entire family. The stools will provide seating for all of them.
