Extra tall bar stools have that advantage of height that allows you to see out a window that’s placed high up on a wall, allows you to be seated at a tall counter or table – one usually sized for standing, and provides extra leg room for tall people. They can be in any design normally used by bar stools – backless, swivel, barrel-shaped, or bucket backed. They can be elegant, beautifully made or geared more toward the rough and ready.
Which areas at home will benefit from extra tall bar stools most?
Tall stools with supportive backs and swivel seats can make your bar or kitchen counter breakfast nook a comfortable place to stop and rest for a little while. Sturdy leg braces double as footrests or as a ladder for the vertically challenged to be able to climb up to the seat. They can help boost schoolage children to a level where they can reach the counter top as well as an adult.
Also, table top war gaming becomes much easier when you can watch other players’ moves from the comfort of a tall bar stool. Gaming tables are deliberately set up so that people need to stand to move the pieces and to discourage items being carelessly set on the table with the pieces. However, it is easy to grow fatigued while waiting your turn. A folding movie director style tall bar stool can allow spectators to see what is going on without the discomfort of standing.
What are the benefits of backless barstools?
Stools without backs make getting to the seat easy. This can be a desirable trait in a busy kitchen or at an outdoor bar venue. Again, with the extra tall legs, they are sturdily braced, and the rungs are positioned so that they can be used as a ladder for getting on the stool seat. They can be upholstered, or the seat can be made of contoured or flat wood.
What are the best types of bar stools for a large person?
A rectangularly shaped extra tall barstool can contribute to the comfort of extra-large people. The wide, upholstered seat creates a comfortable place that can support the bulk of an extra-large person. Whether used at a bar, breakfast counter, or a gaming table it will give a large person a chance to get their weight off their feet. The extra leg length can also be an advantage for those who are both large and tall.
Are extra tall bar stools suitable for shorter people?
Wherever you place your extra tall bar stools they can provide an easy place for people to sit and be able to reach tall counters or tall tables. You could even place a row of them at the back of a dinner theater to facilitate the back row being able to see over those who are seated in the front. Shorter people can also find them to be advantageous because, when seated, petite people tend to be more nearly on the same level as tall people. They can be in any style or material and will easily match a variety of room themes.
