How to choose a bar stool
Like ordering a craft beer or glass of wine, choosing a bar stool for kitchen and bar takes a bit of thought. But it can be a lot easier if you follow these simple steps.

First, measure how high the counter is. This step will immediately narrow the selection to a bar-height or counter-height stool. Next, think about where you need bar seating. Are the bar stools for the breakfast bar or the living room party bar? Kitchen stools generally get more wear — or are used by kids — so material, color, and durability make a big difference.

Next, visualize the space to determine whether you want a bar stool with a back or backless, and if you want it to swivel or be stationary. Bar stools with backs deliver premium comfort. Backless bar stools tuck neatly under a counter to keep the sightlines clear. Swivels make it easier to get on and off, as well as turn towards the conversation.

Last comes the fun part — the style. Do your tastes run classic, modern, rustic or global? Do you prefer bonded leather, wood, metal or wicker? So many choices make it easy for you to express your style with a bar stool from grandinroad.
