Bar stools with backs

Posted on May 4, 2010 by admin

Bar stools with backs are not what you would typically think of when you imagine a really cozy and traditional bar. Most old school bar chairs don’t have a backrest and in this way have a very urban and raw look to them. In the last decade however, manufacturers have really realized that these chairs can be pretty uncomfortable without the backrest.

When the bar stools with backs first started being produced, they immediately became really popular with the public and people absolutely loved them. What was so revolutionary about these chairs, was the fact that they combined the class and style of the traditional bar stools, while having the added comfort of modern furniture.

It doesn’t matter whether you are buying these stools for a restaurant or your private home, by getting the ones with backrests you will get a lot of benefits and no negatives. Of course there are some backrests there are more a decorative piece instead of actually being comfortable and if you are looking for comfort, you should avoid these low quality chairs at all cost.

If you are looking for the maximum amount of relaxation and comfort, it is a good idea to purchase barstools that have both backrests and armrests. Before you go ahead and make your final purchase however, you have some really exciting and some less exciting decisions to make.

Bar stools with backs

The first prerequisite of making a good purchase is to know how much space you have available and how many pieces you are looking to buy. By doing this preparation beforehand you will not make the mistake of purchasing your stools purely on impulse. It is quite surprising that the biggest mistake people make is to buy either too many chairs or too few. Another big mistake people make is that they buy either too tall or too low stools for their desired counter and realize that the final results isn’t what they expected it to be.

Now that you have these bare essentials covered, it is time for the fun decisions. The first thing you want to decide on is what kind of material you want your backrest to be made from. There is a wealth of different options to choose from, but the two most popular choices are the leather backrests and the wooden backrests. If you are going for a wooden stool, it wouldn’t make sense to have anything other than a wooden backrest.

If however you are going for the metal bar furniture and have chosen to have leather backrests, you have another important thing to keep in mind. In order to make your bar stools with backs as comfortable as possible, you definitely want to have as much padding as possible in the backrest. There is a fine balance however as too much padding will affect the designer properties of the chair.

Make sure you take the needed time to find the perfect chairs. The perfect model is the one that really excites you, matches the current design of your house, fits your budget and is durable at the same time. By dedicating the necessary time, finding this special product is a lot easier than you would first imagine.

Red bar stools

Posted on May 3, 2010 by admin

Red has always been a very popular color whether it is for home furniture, clothes, lipstick, high heels or cars. Red is often connected with very sexy and stylish designs and most times products that are completely red are very luxurious and high end. With the rising popularity of bar stools, it was just a matter of time before the red bar stools took over the entire market. I might be slightly biased here, but I simply love the design and brilliance of these chairs.

I will be the first to admit though; there are some rotten apples in between. This is inevitable and is a matter of high quality manufacturers trying to produce products that in essence are way out of their league.

Finding the red bar stools is not as simple as it sounds and there are many things you need to consider and decide upon, before you are ready to make your final purchase. First of all you have to figure out what kind of communication and ambience you are trying to create in your home. You also have to consider what kind of style you have already created in your house.

This will be really counterintuitive and will ruin all your stylistic efforts, instead you shoulder consider getting a couple of folding bar stools, just in case you have many guests.

Red bar stools

Most of these chairs are made from metal and have a red leather seat or backrest. You can also go for a more untraditional look by finding your chairs in a really red wood type, Cherry is a really good candidate. Once again, remember to keep your original designer vision in mind and always stick to it as much as possible.

Now that you have all the practical things covered, you should start doing some market research. Remember to be patient and check out a lot of different retailers before you make your final purchase, a lot of times you can save a lot of money by doing so.

Furthermore they are extremely durable and have a very stylish and warm look to them.

You have to make a lot of different choices when you want to decide what kind of chairs you want to get. Not all of these choices are easy and therefore it is a good idea to ask yourself some questions in order to make the purchasing process easier. Some great questions to get your brainstorming process started are the following:

What kind of style am I really trying to create here?

What do I want people to think when they enter my house?

Do I want to stick with my current design and ambience or go for something completely new?

How much am I willing to spend in order to get the perfect bar stools?

These are all great questions that will give you clarity and steer you in the right direction.

Oak bar stools

Chances are that you might already have considered these factors and have been steered towards the oak stools. Therefore we will now take a closer look at some of the properties of these chairs and their pros and cons.

One of the biggest benefits of these chairs is their classic look and design. Even though they are part of the hardwood family, they are not as dark as cherry and mahogany. Because oak is part of the hardwood family, you generally don’t need to worry about the durability and sturdiness of these stools. It is however important to take the time to pick a high quality model, in order to ensure maximum durability. Just like all other things, you really can’t afford to buy something cheap (It is going to break sooner or later).

The style and change in ambience the oak bar stools can create within just a couple of seconds, is really unbelievable. It is a very classy and warm look and you really feel like those cold winter nights where you sat inside your house and everything was really cozy.

Because these bar chairs are as popular as they are, it is not going to be a big problem finding various models and designs. The only con about oak stools however, is the fact that they do require some time for maintenance from your part. We are not talking about grueling tasks however and it is nothing more than a little polishing and cleaning. If you really like the design of these chairs, you really shouldn’t let a small task like that hold you back.

As mentioned earlier it is very important (especially when you buy wood products) to take your time and find something that is of high quality. Another good idea is to stay completely open minded and also check out some of the other types of bar stools, when you find the one you like the most, you will know it immediately.

Of course there is the probability that the 30” size will be perfect for you and by doing a little bit of research you can quickly know the answer.

When you get coached by some of the world’s best coaches they often do nothing but to ask you some questions and let you find the answers yourself. They basically work from the understanding that all the answers to your questions are already inside you and you just need to bait these answers out by asking the right questions.  This metaphor can also be used when it comes to figuring out whether the 30 bar stools are really the right choice for you.

Before even starting your research you should ask yourself the following questions and gain some clarity on your demands and wishes:

What table am I going to place these stools by?

What will I mostly be using these chairs for?

Do I want these chairs to match the current theme and style of my house or do I want to dramatically change everything?

What materials do I prefer?

How much time am I willing to spend on maintenance?

How long do I want my 30 bar stools to last at the very least?

30 bar stools

Now that you have answered these questions to yourself, you should be really clear about what kind of product you are looking for. One of the really important things is to measure the table/bar you are going to use these stools for, a lot of times the 30 bar stools will not even fit.

The second thing you need to consider is how many chairs you have space for. Your dream might be to have 6-8 stools, but a little detail like forgetting that bar stools with armrests take up more space, can ruin all your planning and force you to come up with a plan b. Normally you should count with a total needed space of around 25 inches between each one of your bar stools. If you feel you don’t have enough room in your house, you should consider getting the swivel model as these take up less space.

Now that you have all the practical things figured out and set, it is time for the fun part. Now you need to decide what model and material you like the best. There are a lot of different models to choose from and even though it might feel a little overwhelming in the beginning, it is a good idea to keep an open mind and be patient.
