6 Reasons to Buy Bar Stools

Bar stools are not only a popular seating choice for clubs, bars, pubs, restaurants, and pool halls, they've become a highly sought after addition to the home. Not only are they functional and practical, but they enhance the style and decor of a home.

There are so many reasons to buy bar stools, but we narrowed them down to the top six.

1. Functionality. The number one reason to purchase bar stools for your home is their functionality. Most bar stools are fairly lightweight, which means you can move them around easily. If you need more seating for the big game, simply move them to the room with the TV. They work well at kitchen counters, breakfast bars, center islands, game-room bars, and outdoor patios. Bar stools are an excellent choice for areas of your home, club, or bar where space is tight. Some bar stools are stackable, which is a great way to store extra seating for entertaining guests. Bar stools in billiard house are typically dubbed "spectator chairs".
2. Height adjustability. Bar stools that are equipped with an adjustable height feature are even more versatile because they can be adapted to people of varying heights. Adjustable bar stools height can range as low as 24 inches to as high as 48 inches -- to just about everywhere in between. Counter stools are typically a few inches shorter than bar stools.
3. Comfortable. Bar stools are more than a sleek, stylish seat, they're ultra-comfortable too. Some bar stools come with a backrest, arm rest, foot rest, and padding to provide exceptional comfort. Other bar stools swivel, giving you the freedom to move in any direction; some bar stools allow a 360-degree swivel action!
4. Variety. From wooden to metal to wicker to leather, there are a plethora of types of bar stools for you to choose from. In addition to different types of materials used in bar stools, you'll find they are available in just about any style you want. From contemporary to art deco to country, you're sure to find bar stools that will fit your home's decor like a glove. Because there are so many choices, you can find one that's the perfect fit for the theme of your home or establishment. Bar stools are also available in various fabrics, such as cloth, leather, microfiber, and vinyl. Vinyl, leather, and some microfiber bar stools are stain resistant, which makes them kid-friendly. Today, you can even find bar stool slip covers in various prints -- from animal print to paisley to floral patterns.
5. Resilience. Most bar stools are built to last. They're made out of quality materials, to withstand lots of wear and tear. For instance, bar stools made out of hard woods, such as cherry or rosewood are known for their durability and strength. Aluminum bar stools are a good choice for outdoor patios, since they hold up well to weather. Beside being adjustable and strong, metal bar stools use lifts -- much like office chairs -- to adjust the bar stool seat height. Heavy-duty metal and wrought-iron bar stools are super sturdy and strong.
6. Ambiance. Depending on the type and style you choose, bar stools add a sense of elegance, warmth, or modernness to your home or business. Casual bar stools help to evoke a feeling of friendliness to your home, inviting people to sit down for a drink and conversation. Wooden bar stools are timeless and ageless, adding a classic look and feel to any space.
