Vintage Industrial Bar Stools

Vintage industrial bar stools are typically made of wood and raw metal. They are straightforward materials that provide a streamlined function and bring about a utilitarian flair to the industrial style you are after.

Bar seating is constructed out of durable materials in order to support the weight of the users. Since the framing of bar stools can be made out of various materials, focus on choosing a material that will complement a room's existing décor. When sifting through your available options, check out the various colors and finishes that have been applied to bar stool frames.

Function and comfort are two significant factors that should be taken into account when selecting bar stools. Your choice will be between stools with cushions and those that come without them.

• Upholstered Industrial Bar Stools - Many homeowners and restaurant owners prefer the comfort an upholstered, well-cushioned seat offers. Bar stools properly upholstered offer an aesthetic value along with the opportunity to introduce texture, pattern, and color to a space. Microfiber, polyester, and leather upholstery are the options that are easy to clean. Vintage industrial bar stools have designs that aren't quite ergonomic, so you'll find a cushioned seat handy, especially if you will be sitting on a bar stool for a long time.
• No Cushion - Bar stools with no cushion are best used in areas that receive medium to high traffic. No cushion means less cleanup and maintenance needed. They're also great for homeowners who entertain frequently and families with small children. Because there's no upholstery, you won't have to think about wear and staining.

Standard bar-height stools should have seat heights of 29 to 32 inches to pair with table heights of 41 to 43 inches. Most stools are made to go near or under a ba, so the bar's height will determine a stool's height. Of course, you'll need enough clearance so the user of the stool can sit comfortably.

Measure your breakfast bar's length and work out the number of stools that will fit along it. We recommend 26" – 30" between the centers of each bar stool. Bear in mind the people who'll be swiveling on the stools. Their knees shouldn't knock when they're too close together.

You also need to consider features like swivel and gas lift options as they can ensure ease-of-use and enhance the functionality of bar stools. If you want to ensure making conversation within your breakfast bar is easy, a swivel function will prove to be necessary. It allows you to get a 360-degree view of your environment without getting up to move the bar stool. As for the gas lift, it enables the use of a stool in different bar and table heights.
