Tips for choosing the right crutches

Because there are so many different types of bar stools, it’s helpful to know what to look for when buying one so you can narrow down your options. The ideal stool will complement your bar or kitchen table, match the style of your kitchen, and be the right height for the countertop and the user. In this article, you’ll read some tips to help you in your search for the perfect stool.

Counter height

If you have a bar stool that is not height-adjustable, make sure that the stool matches the height of the bar or kitchen table. The stool should be exactly high enough for the user to sit comfortably, easily grab a drink and rest their arms on the bar. Before you go to the store, it is therefore useful to first measure the height of the counter.

Similarities with your style

The style of the bar should flow smoothly into the style of the rest of the house. Wooden bar stools go well with a rustic interior, while metal or plastic stools go well with a house with a modern look. Do you want stools that match both the type of house and the surroundings? Gray bar stools go beautifully with a house on the beach. Modern, metal bar stools are always a good match for a new apartment in a high-rise building.

Features

A few simple features can make a bar stool a lot more comfortable. If the stool is height adjustable, it can accommodate guests of all sizes. Adding a footrest gives the stool extra style and makes it more comfortable because your guests have somewhere to put their feet. Swivel bar stools make it easier for your guests to turn around and talk to each other.

Backrest type

You often see bar stools without a backrest, especially when it comes to swivel bar stools. Depending on the look you want, you can choose between stools with a low backrest or a high backrest. Bar stools with a low backrest look almost the same as stools without a backrest, but offer a certain amount of support for the back. Bar stools with a high backrest offer the most support, but give a different look.
