Leather elegant bar stools are the perfect solution for those “standing” positions that seem to keep coming up in our modern lives. It seems as if there are more and more situations where someone decided that your life would be better if you were standing all the time. Standing computer desks, standing at a cash register, standing so you can observe. While it seems as if modern humans do sit too much of their time, standing still in one place is hard on backs, knees, ankles, and feet. If you are standing at a computer or cash register, a bar stool might be the answer.
You don’t have to settle for an old-fashioned bar stool with an uncomfortable wooden top and no back. You can have one with beautiful leather upholstery, an adjustable pedestal, and a handy footrest. Leather is one of those materials that looks great in almost any setting, and that will hold up to a lot of wear. It is easy to clean. Usually, you can just wipe it off with a damp cloth. It is comfortable. If you are in a venue where bare skin might stick to the leather and knitted or terry throw can solve the problem.
People don’t come in just one size, so it is handy to have a bar stool with adjustable height. You can make it shorter if you don’t need to be up as tall or taller if you need the extra leg room or the added ability to reach a countertop.
Not all bar stools that are upholstered in leather are adjustable. Some of them are more like chairs with extra long legs. These will look nice in more formal areas, such as a dining room or even at a tall window in your living room. It helps if the tops are swivel tops because that allows you to turn the seat to get into it, and then to rotate it to face your tasks at hand.
Leather can be tooled or shaped into a variety of seat types. Imagine swinging a leg over an English-style saddle – only it isn’t on a horse. It is your favorite pedestal bar stool. If English style isn’t your thing, western saddles can be mounted in the same way. Make a juvenile ice cream bar exciting by allowing young buckaroos to “giddy up” to an ice cream sundae aboard a sturdy saddle.
Leather can also be stretched over seats that resemble the old-time tractor seats. And it can be used to top simple, flat barstools on four legs. Yes, those can be elegant, too. All that is needed is a beautiful hardwood and leather to top it off.
Leather elegant bar stools can be the shining star of your home décor or they can lend themselves to your working comfort. You don’t have to settle for standing at a workstation or perpetually struggling with swollen ankles and aching feet.
