10 Types of Bar Stools with Backs

Looking for Bar Stools with Backs

Is your kitchen island or perhaps your mini bar or breakfast table missing some bar stools? If you are thinking about buying or replacing your bar stools with backs, you have some homework. Bar stools come in different materials and designs, so you may want to look into the different options of bar stools with backs first.

It is completely normal to get a little overwhelmed with the options out there. It can be a little complicated to find that perfect model that will become the perfect complement for the kitchen of your dreams. These are all valid considerations, and you don’t want to rush a decision, especially when buying an item that you’ll see daily and will be around for years.

Bar stools offer quite the ambiance for your kitchen space; besides being the obvious sitting option to eat your food, having bar stools in the kitchen -a space, you spend a lot of time -means you can also hang out comfortably, perhaps reading a magazine. Bar stools are in addition great to entertain guests and spend time congregated around the counter.

Elements to look for in bar stools with backs

Height

Standard bars are around 42” high, so bar stools with a height of 30” sound like a safe bet. However, they also come in different heights. Measure your current table, island, or bar and choose accordingly.

Design

Backless: Perhaps the most common design, however not the most comfortable.

With arms: If you spend a lot of time in your bar stools, then these are the way to go.

Swivel: This is important as it prevents you or your guests from struggling to scoot back and forth from your counter.

Upholstered: Popular choice as they are more comfortable and offer an air of formality to your counter-top dining.

Material

Wood: These are a solid option that can fit with nearly any décor. These are often the most expensive.

Metal: Expect a sleek silhouette, making them especially great in small spaces.

Rattan: These are lightweight, offering a casual, timeless appeal.
