Selecting A Barstool

By Jenna Connor

Barstool is something of a catch-all term, as these stools are equally as frequently paired with a dining counter, gathering table or other heightened seating spot as they are with a bar. Dining counters are more commonly part of space-saving condominium designs, and gathering tables are similarly more frequently seen in homes. As a result, stools are incorporated into the home more often, and this has lead to a greater understanding of just how practical they are and the way in which they can be a stylistic alternative. With increasing popularity comes an expanded selection of design choices, and accordingly there is more to choosing a "bar" stool than most will realize. However, the considerations one should take into account are much the same as those for any other seating piece. When selecting a barstool that is right for you, always make sure the seat height, over all construction and the basic functions are exactly what you were looking for.

Seat height Do you intend to pair your home bar chairs and stools with a bar, gathering table, dining counter or any similar fixture? The first step is to measure the counter (table top) height of any for which you will be purchasing stools.

Seat height: A counter in the kitchen, a gathering table or a counter height dining table will typically need a stool with a seat height of 24 to 26 inches. A home bar, pub table or counter that stands 40" high requires a stool 28 to 30 inches high (as measured from the seat to the floor). A bar or counter between 45" to 48" high will require a spectator stool, also known as an extra tall home bar stool, that has a seat height of 33 inches.

Function and Features: That ones that feature a backrest and / or armrests may appeal to individuals who are inclined to spend extended periods of time at the bar, table or counter for meals or socializing. They allow the individual to sit back in a manner that a backless stool just never can.

It is my sincere hope that this simply yet powerful article will help you select the best bar stool for your home bar. Once everything is placed, just remember one thing, drink responsibly and have fun.
