The modern design of the kitchen interior has tens of thousands of options. Many of them provide for the presence of a bar in the kitchen. This applies to most spacious rooms, as well as studios, when the kitchen is combined with a dining room and living room. Bar counter often divides the kitchen into functional areas or is generally used as a dining table, which is typical for small kitchens .
And, of course, no bar counter can not do without the appropriate chairs or stools. There are also many varieties of them. Let's look at what a bar stool is like.
Features of a bar stool for the kitchen
Bar counters were invented as an expanded partition between the bartender and visitors to establishments where you could drink a mug of beer or enjoy stronger drinks. But to do it standing is not very convenient, and gradually came into use special bar stools.
This type of furniture has the following differences from conventional kitchen stools:
- Firstly, the bar stool is much higher, the height of his seat is on average 60 to 90 cm from the floor. This makes it possible to sit comfortably behind a high bar counter;
- secondly, such stools are necessarily equipped with a step. It is necessary for greater stability of the stool, and also for a person to feel more comfortable sitting on such a high bar stool, where he most often does not get his feet to the floor;
- and thirdly, the size of the seat of bar stools is usually less than usual.
Material of bar stool manufacturing
Bar stool can be made of wood, metal, plastic. The frame of this piece of furniture should be strong, practical and, of course, suitable in style. Wooden bar stool will serve you long enough and suitable for different rooms. It is best to choose wood of hardwood as a material. As for the metal bar stools, they are the best for the kitchen in the "cold" style of hi-tech or minimalism. Stools with forged elements fit well into the modern or Gothic interior. Furniture made of metal is somewhat heavier than wood and plastic. It is often possible to see on sale and combined models, where the tree is combined with metal. And plastic or acrylic stools, although they are the most short-lived, can brighten the room with bright colors.
You should also pay attention to the material from which the seat of the stool is made. Fashionable today are natural and artificial leather for seat upholstery, various types of wear-resistant fabrics, weaving from vine and rattan, laminate, etc.

Structural features of a bar stool
The main points in the design of bar stools are the number of legs and the shape of the seat. The latter can be absolutely anything, from traditional round or square to the most incredible irregular shapes. The stool itself can rest on several legs or have one massive support, like a bar stool, made in the form of a cone. When buying, pay special attention to the stability of such bar furniture. And, finally, another important point is the height adjustment. This function along with the mechanism of a smooth lift ("gas-lift") is available in most progressive models of bar stools.
