Bar Stool Designs

Where I live it is very windy.  I am planning on putting a little bar area on my deck by the hot tub.  I would love to have some bar height patio furniture right on our deck.  My problem is finding something that is heavy enough that it won’t blow over on very windy days.   The wind is so bad here that we had a swing on our deck and one day it went tumbling over and ended up in the lawn.   Any suggestions on heavy duty outdoor bar and stools?

I was so lucky to be able to design my own kitchen when we built our home.  I decided that I really wanted a huge island in my kitchen to use for quick meals.  What I found is that this is the center area in our home.  When we have company over, we usually gather around the island because that is where the food and beverages are.  We started off with some cheaper bar stools, but they really wore out quickly.  Then we purchased some metal bar stools and love them.  We went with 4 stools as that is what fits under the island, but then I decided that we needed some more for when company comes.   We keep the extras in the basement, but always get them out when we have company.  This allows everyone to sit comfortably around the island.

Reto is really in for decor.  I was in a house where they had their kitchen done in retro.  Remember the old style bar stools that were metal, attached to the floos, and had vinal cusions for the seating?  This is what they had in their home.  It remimded me of Happy Days tv show.  They actually looked cool and fit in great with the retro look.

We made a rec room in our church for the youth group.  I decided that it would be great to get a high table an put some bar stools round it for different activities.  I have found that the kids take these stool and move them all around the room.  They love them. They put them by the ping pong table when watching a game, by the tv when playing playstation, and around the table when eating.  These stools have been used so much by the youth and they love them.

The bottom of my stools are metal.  I love the stool itself.  There is a rubber black ring around the bottom of the stool which keeps the stool from scratching the floor.  My problem is that the rubber has started to get old and crack.  I have fixed it with black McGuyver tape so far.  I am wondering if there is something that I can purchase to put on the bottom of these stools so they don’t scratch the floor.

These are the bar stools that I own….(I hope the photo goes threw).   I love them because they are adjustable in height.  When a child sits in it, he can just be raised up to the proper height to eat off the island in my kitchen.
