BARSTOOLS

Bar and counter stools often become the center point seating for all types of gatherings, and for that reason alone should be reason enough for quality and durability to be a major consideration. Another very important purchasing factor is structural stability. Since bar stools are elevated nearly two feet higher than dining chairs, there are significantly stresses exerted on the legs and backs of bar stools that require a greater degree of structural integrity in their design. Many barstools offer swivel seat mechanisms with memory spring systems, thereby providing another area of weakness if quality construction is absent.
