Cast Iron Bar Stools
One way to spice up a vintage home bar or introduce a steampunk feel is by adding cast iron bar stools. These types of bar stools are a lot sturdier than wood stools, making them last a lot longer. For a cool appeal pair metal stools with a metal bar, and for a softened sense pair a wooden bar with metal stools. Whether you choose a backed or backless cast iron stool, we have plenty of options to look through.

Are you looking for the best seating solution for your kitchen counter or home bar? The cast iron barstool is the optimal choice for informal dining and kitchen hangouts. Because we're spending more time in the kitchen, finding comfortable and stylish seating solutions is a priority. Not only do cast iron barstools offer an ideal spot for gossiping over coffee with your friends, but they're an excellent way to dress up the kitchen area when you're looking for stylish design solutions.
- Durability: Cast iron is a ferrous metal that is composed of silicon (Si), iron (Fe), carbon (C), and, in some cases, traces of sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), and manganese (Mn). In comparison to wrought iron, cast iron is heavy, sturdy, and it can't be bent, hammered into shape, or stretched. Because it's durable and inexpensive, cast iron is found commonly in outdoor furnishings including cast iron barstools.
- Cost: as low as $89.00 to as high as over $1,000
- Maintenance: wipe off residue with a damp cloth that's been moistened with naphtha or mineral spirits.
Styles include swivel, backless, and adjustable cast iron barstools. You can also choose from modern, industrial, mid-century modern, farmhouse, and traditional styling.
Regarding colors, it depends on the kind of barstool you've chosen. Many are available in standard black or gray. However, you may find that you have the option of choosing white, nickel, or standard colors. You’ll also find that the barstool’s pad will have color or pattern options and fabric choices, as well.
When selecting your cast iron bar stool, it’s essential you choose one that fits your bar or counter height. Follow these steps to ensure they’re the correct height:
- Measure the height of your counter or bar: take a measurement from the top of your counter or bar to the floor. To ensure you've gotten the proper measurement, do this twice.
- Make the proper stool selection: once you've obtained the measurement, subtract ten inches. In doing so, you'll have the height necessary for your bar stool. The measurement you arrive at will provide you with enough room to sit comfortably at your counter or bar with your legs crossed or without.
- Obtaining the correct bar stool height: measure the stool from its seat down to the floor.
Under most circumstances, counter height stools are between 24-29 inches from the floor, and bar stools seats measure between 30 and 36 inches from the floor.
Selecting the right style and measurement are essential decisions, but you also need to know how many barstools will fit in your space. The best way to make this determination is to ensure there are at least 26 to 30 inches between each stool. That way, everyone is seated comfortably at your bar or counter. To obtain the correct measurement, begin measuring from the center of one barstool on to the next. Then, make sure there are fourteen inches from the center of the last barstool and the wall.
