Where to Get Bar Stools

Antique or simply old bar stools make for good conversation pieces especially when drinkers are running out of topics but not yet out of ‘thirst’.

Splurge without guilt. If your choice of bar stools will break the bank, then they have to be of the best quality. However, everybody knows that superior quality need not be expensive. Sure bar stools that speak for themselves will not be cheap but they are worth it if you are planning to spend considerable time sitting in them.

Choose bar stools wisely. A sample of the simplest designs are Bondi bars tool which have neither back or arm rests while a Capri comes with slim chrome-shiny legs. The choice of bar stools reflects personal choices and habits. For those who tend to drink rather heavily, sturdier designs are better for safety reasons while elegant bar stools which although totally functional, look more like designer pieces will do.
