Restaurant bar stools have been used in eateries for the last century. These stools can be very simplistic to very complex in design. They can be customized to match the décor of any restaurant, or they can be purchased as standard stock. These barstools aren’t just for sitting on to enjoy your dinner. They actually offer medical benefits to those who want to dine out occasionally.
A standard restaurant booth does not give a patron much support to their back. The backing is usually too far away from the tabletop to sit comfortably and upright. The patron typically has to lean forward to enjoy their meal, which is hard on their back. A restaurant table has a solid backing, but usually comes in a standard height. This means that no matter how tall a person is, they still have the same amount of leg room from the chair seat to the floor. This presents a problem for people who are tall and have to scrunch up their legs in order to eat.
Restaurant bar stools provide support by having tubular foot rests and backing that allows a person to sit up straight while they dine. It is also better for a person’s bodily systems to not be bent over while they are eating. These chairs have secure legs and in some cases padded seats, so they offer a great level of comfort to patrons.
These bar stools come in heavy duty or lightweight designs. They are usually purchased for commercial establishments such as restaurants, pools halls, lounge rooms, hotels or bars. However, many people opt to purchase them for use in the home as well. Home bars have become increasingly popular in the last couple of decades.
The bar stools can be made of metal or wood materials, and can be totally customized to meet the customer’s needs. They can be purchased in many different stain finishes, and can come in hundreds of different designed backings. Backings can include slatted, ladder, window, solid and lattice among many others. The backing is usually the focal point of the stool, so the stool can be rustic, luxurious or any other theme that you choose.
The seating can be solid wood or metal. It can be left with the bare material, or upholstered in vinyl or cloth fabric. Vinyl fabric is a popular covering with restaurant owners, because it offers durability, is easy to clean and sanitize, and is an affordable option. Popular color choices for vinyl coverings in restaurants include red, black, dark green and blue.
These stools will last for years if they are built well. In addition to standard bar stools, ergonomic bar stools are also available, but they are rarely purchased by restaurant owners because they cost more than basic bar stools. A basic bar stool can range in price from twenty or thirty dollars to a couple of hundred dollars. Higher end bar stools can cost several hundred dollars. Whatever product you select, the important thing is that is comfortable, within your budget, and meets the needs of your eatery.
