Comment on Advantages of Purchasing Breakfast Bar Stools by Ira L

The best thing about adjustable height bar stools is that you can use them for years at the breakfast bar and then move them over to a high boy table whenever you feel the need. They are quite versatile and should be a staple in every home which requires additional seating.

You have some excellent ideas for kitchens. That has been one of the recurring themes in my own life–looking for a way to make our bathrooms and our kitchen look really glorious, even though those rooms are much too small. One of the glories of the Internet, though, is that there is absolutely no dearth of ideas. Right now I have no idea of what I will ultimately do, but I keep hoping I will come up with something really slick.

We also have a similar table in our open kitchen area and it really is great for a family meal.

I think that the stools are pretty safe. It is like any chair, if you are going to be tipping in it, you might tip over and get hurt. The swivels aren’t dangerous at all.

Bubble, I love your idea to cut down the legs and make a little table. That would be a cool looking table too!

Wow, I wouldn’t have even thought about people having an allergic reaction when sitting on a stool. That is a good thing to keep in the back of your mind when purchasing.

The wood style is so traditional. Usually you can get them to fit in with most styles of decor too.

I bet that there are some stools made to withstand the rain and the weather. I would look for something that has that specific quality when keeping them outside.

Is it possible to keep them outside if you live where it rains a lot , or will they rust?

I forgot to mention that a friend of mine has a very bad nickel allergy and when she sat on a metal bar stool for too long, her legs started to swell up. I felt so bad for her.

I think that replacing the stools with wood was a good idea. It probably cleaned up the look of the kitchen a lot.

I have a mild nickel allergy, so I know exactly what you’re talking about. I hate the rash you develop. It’s so annoying.

Wow~ I didn’t realize that this was such a great business. I guess I can see why. When I was shopping for my barstools, I went online and found what I wanted at a great price. I also used http://www.barstoolsforall.com. It took no time for them to arrive.

True. You’d have to put a plastic tray of something under the plant to keep the water off of the bar stool.

Comment on Patio Bar Stools and Furniture. by Tigger

True. Just be careful that you don’t bring mold spores and/or small insects with them when you bring them inside.

I don’t know, but I agree with you. I’m kind of short, so it’s a little bit awkward for me to sit on most bar stools.

I don’t like swivel stools when there are young kids in the house. They just play with them instead of sitting and eating.

I do agree that in a restaurant or bar they are essential. I go to a restaurant all the time and the stools don’t swivel. It makes it so hard to go and sit at the bar.

I am not a big fan of this style either, but I do like the idea of using them for a breakfast nook.

This style is very elegant. I can just see my kids ruining them.

This is exactly what we did when we were looking for stools. It is important to get the right size bar stool when shopping for them.

I have more modern stools too. The thing I like about mine is that they are adjustable. This way adults and children can use them and alway have them the perfect height.

It is really easy to refinish a wooden barstool and make it look like new. All you have to do is strip away the finish, sand to make it smooth, add color and then polyurethain. It is time consuming, but not hard at all.

I had some old metal barstools that we didn’t use anymore and gave them away to someone who needed some. They were new to them:)

Comment on Hanging Out In The Kitchen by sunshine4

sunshine4 — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:49:32 +0000

It is also important to have the higher backs on the bar stool to make it more comfortable.

I agree kitchen time is so essential. My family spends a great majority of our time together in the kitchen.

I love the set you have pictured.

Great idea to bring the bar and bar stools indoors for the winter months. I would set it up in my basement for the winter, a way of storing it too.
Also when looking for outdoor barstools, I make sure that they can take the weather and won’t ruin if rained on or from the hot sun.

Wooden stools are great if it matches your decor. I agree that you can throw them here and there extra seating.

I have to say I am not surprised by the figures you have quoted here.

Bar stools in themselves can enhance your kitchen and dining experiences, and lots of unique and bespoke designs makes the old bar stool much more modern and contemporary.

bubble — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 15:29:21 +0000

I think outdoor bar stools really need to be sturdy and be able to withstand whatever the weather can throw at it really.

They can be a really good feature, and I suppose they can be brought and used inside too.

Comment on Getting Creative with Old Bar Stools by bubble

bubble — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 15:26:17 +0000

Do you think you could also cut down the height of an old bar stool and use it as a small occasional table?

I do like the idea of recycling old stools into something new, it is just a shame that I don’t have any that I want to change at the moment!!

They are a great addition to any traditional country style kitchen.

I think if the wood is smoothed and treated propertly splinters would not be an issue.

I have some bespoke wooden bar stools at my bar, and they are stained to match the bar top. They look really old and rustic in the design and they are surprisingly comfortable without a padded seat.

If you choose the right style, patio bar stools can be used indoors during the cooler months.

Great way to save the decorating budget.

I have noticed that many bar stools could use another wrung in their base to give a place for shorter people to rest their feet.

How easy is it to get a set of stools customized to include this extra rung?

DianaR — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:31:13 +0000

I haven’t seen any wood stools that have splinters, but they are great for people who suffer from nickel allergies.

There’s nothing worse than developing a rash from sitting on a stool that has metal along the seat or back!

I never sat in a rotating stool like that. It sounds much fun, but I wonder is it safe?

It fits well if your kitchen is the last sound of modern fit up. It looks a little bit futuristic but also elegant.

This style will never get old. If you sit in one of these you will probably get a sense of the Middle Age.

It all boils down to the taste of a person. But wooden furniture of all kind is classic, comfort and provides a lot of cozy atmosphere.

BlackNo1 — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:31:16 +0000

If the old bar stool was wooden though it is not a good solution for plant stand, since it can’t take much moisture, and eventually it will bend or brake.

Depends how you’ve made the padding. If it is with some kind of buttons there should be no problem switching the cushions.

Comment on Wood Stools Work Well In Traditionally-Themed Kitchens by Tigger

Tigger — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 21:43:52 +0000

These only really work well in traditionally-themed kitchens. And watch out for splinters.

Comment on Replaced prev owner’s kitchen padded stool with wood by Tigger

Tigger — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 21:39:49 +0000

True. If they’re padded, you can’t really wash the cushion and you don’t really have many options like switching the fabric for a better one.

Comment on Getting Creative with Old Bar Stools by Tigger

Tigger — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 21:35:24 +0000

I’m all for reusing things. Using old bar stools as plant stands is a great idea.

I agree. It’s easier to relax if you have somewhere to rest your arms.

I’d like to add that, while the range of motion on a swivel stool is crucial, It should be sturdy enough to support weight evenly!

Have you ever been on a swivel stool only to have it shift when you turn in it? It is pretty distressing!

LOL

Comment on Getting Creative with Old Bar Stools by DianaR

DianaR — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 19:05:55 +0000

I tend to opt for refinishing stools. It allows you to keep usng them as barstools, but doesn’t prevent you from using them as plants stands.

Comment on Replaced prev owner’s kitchen padded stool with wood by DianaR

The nice thing about wood bar stools is you still have the option of purchasing or creating washable cushions for them.

Yes, durable fabrics such as vinyl, micro fiber or leather create a good line of defense to keep counter height bar stools looking their best.

I often do recycling of the bar tools making it useful in atleast some perspective.

I had made a shelter for my dog by using the old bar tools and it is one of my good DIY project.

We had to switch to stools that also featured arms. They aren’t that easy to find, but they really help out when you have older relatives that need support under their arms for comfort!

Good Job!
