Buying Guide

Whether you're looking into buying foldable bar stools for the very first time or you're just replacing your old stools, a foldable bar stool will definitely provide your home more flexibility apart from a definitive look. Contrary to conventional stools, this specific type of bar stool offers more versatility and it can easily be transported from one area to another.

However, just like regular bar stools, folding stools for home bars come in all designs, styles, features, and sizes.

Here are the considerations you have to take into account to get the best ones for your home:

  • Classic Folding Bar Stools - These bar stools are stationary and they come with no cushioning nor backs. If you are after such stools, then you need to ensure the stools you purchase are well-designed seats. They are entry level options, but their design will stay in fashion for centuries. They're durable, comfortable, and sturdy, especially if they are well-built and properly taken care of. They're extremely easy to clean as well.
  • Contemporary-Style Foldable Bar Stools - These bar stools include cushioning, a half-back recliner, a rotary seat, and a folding mechanism. They are stylish bar stools, guaranteed to fit in any modern-styled home bar. When you're selecting between different contemporary-styled stools, inspect the bearings of the seats otherwise you'll end up with seating that will only last for weeks as low-quality stools break, creak, and wobble after a couple of uses.
  • Full-Back Folding Bar Stools - These ones are less common. However, they're handy during long-sitting sessions especially for people suffering from back issues. When you get a full-backed stool with a folding mechanism, avoid a rotary stool as it won't be able to provide you with an excellent balance point.

When it comes to foldable bar stools, you also need to make a decision in terms of the upholstery of your new seating. This particular decision is, once again, split into different categories:

  • No Upholstery - Foldable bar stools without any upholstery are the easiest to clean and maintain. All they require is a simple wipe down. Of course, there are downsides to everything. With "unupholstered" stools, they're rather uncomfortable to sit on, especially for an extended period of time.
  • Partially Upholstered - This refers to the bar stools with backs, but only the seating is upholstered. They give a certain degree of comfort as opposed to stools with no upholstery. They're also easier to clean and maintain compared to fully upholstered units.
  • Fully Upholstered - Bar stools that are fully upholstered have cushioning on the seat and the back. They provide more comfort and they come in all types of upholstery materials. Of course, they can be a pain to clean because the upholstery can collect dirt and dust.

When you check out your options online, you'll find that there are countless foldable bar stools available. By knowing the aspects that need to be considered when making a purchase, you will save yourself tons of time. You'll also be more satisfied with the new seating in your home.
