Curved, tufted backs; shiny metal pins studding the silhouette. When you’re looking for a bar stool with arms and a high back to sink into at the end of a long day, a tufted, stuffed feel is the way to go.

Fortunately, you don’t have to sacrifice style to enjoy a soft seat. Check for tufted chairs that have a distinct shape, such as a half-moon back and cut-off edges. That will help balance out the chair nicely!
