Bar stools offer a more casual seating arrangement than traditional dining chairs. Standard stools can be uncomfortable for long periods. But choosing bar stools with backs and arms provides more support, versatility, and visual appeal. Some seats can swivel while others remain fixed. They come in various styles, materials, and heights.
