Designer Advice:
Unlike round options, the corners of square bar stools don’t really help you optimize your room’s visual flow. So, if yours is on the small side, you should consider a backless model to prevent it from feeling cramped. Backless stools save you some actual space too because you can easily push them underneath the table’s surface once you stand up.
