There are several different bar stool designs on the market; from fixed height to gas lift, from real leather to ABS, from wood to acrylic.
The various materials used to make a bar stool have a huge impact on the overall design, as well as its comfort, durability and functionality. The range of materials and techniques that are used to create many, various designs means a suitable bar stool can be found for any environment. Something that should always be taken into account when purchasing a bar stool or Dining Chair is how the stool is going to be used. It is of great importance to consider which material is going to be suitable for the type of use your stool is going to have to endure. For example a faux leather seat may be more suitable than a real leather one in a busy family home as it is easy to clean and maintain.
There are many bar stools available that use a selection of materials for the design of the seat. Faux leather and ABS plastic are a common combination. The ABS can offer a bright, hard shell that juxtaposes the soft faux leather seat creating a fashionable, yet comfortable design. These stools can often be regarded as having a retro style as many of them use more than one bright color.
Bar stools can come as either adjustable or fixed height. The majority of fixed height stools on the market would often be four legged. The design of these tends to be sturdier and more suitable for commercial environments, although the style of the stool can tend to be more traditional in appearance. However, there are others available at a fixed height that have a more contemporary bar stool look, the Zizi for example has an unusual ‘Z’ shaped frame that adds a modern twist to the traditional look of a fixed height stool. Height adjustable models tend to also have a swivel mechanism. This is a useful feature as maneuvering the stool is made much easier and also helps when space is limited. There is a huge range of seat shapes and styles available on bar stools with a hydraulic mechanism.
The height of the backrest can have a huge impact on the design of any bar stool. Backrests can vary in height, from none at all, to a slight up stand or a high backrest that would go all the way up the sitters back. The size of the backrest can have a huge impact on the appearance of the stool and the room in which it is situated. A stool with a high backrest can often become a focus point for a room as they can take up a lot of space.
Bar stools should be designed to offer the utmost support and comfort. Many of the seats have been molded for added comfort; they sport an ergonomic design to aid the length of time a person can use the stool without becoming uncomfortable. This is probably most prominent in ABS or acrylic styles as the seat material is hard, so shape is very important in terms of comfort. With leather or faux leather stools, the shape of the seat is also very important but this is aided by the density and amount of padding. The amount and shape of the padding can drastically change both the appearance and the comfort of a stool.
It is important to take the above factors into consideration when purchasing a bar stool to ensure you get the perfect design for your use.
