Leather bar stools with backs can make a suitable seating choice for going around islands and tables in your kitchen or dining room. But they can also work for sitting around bars while you’re enjoying a nightcap or a few glasses of wine with friends. Having a back on your barstool gives you a more comfortable seat with back support for longer sitting times. And many designs don’t have arms, which makes it easier to push your bar stools out of the way and access them.
