Q. Why do I need a counter stool?

A. Counter stools are often an afterthought and never purchased for the home. What people don't realize is how much they will be used if they are there. It is nice to be able to sit and talk with someone making dinner or to eat quickly in the kitchen.

Q. What are the various styles of counter stools?

Counter stools are made of wood, metal, iron, and recyclable materials. The type of material you choose should complement the theme you want. For example, country style is usually wood and contemporary is usually aluminum.

Q. How much do counter stools cost?

A. Counter stools vary widely in price. Some small stools can be as low as $35.99 and others may cost several hundred dollars. The reason is that the quality of the materials and the design vary widely.

Q. What is the most popular counter stool?

Q. Will metal bar stools scratch my floors?

A. Because of the frequency of bar stools and counter stools being pulled out and pushed in, the possibility of your floors becoming scratched is moderate. However, there are ways to combat this. Swivel bar stools allow a user to turn the stool and sit down, even in tight spaces. Some swivel bar stools or bar chairs don't even touch the floor but are attached to the countertop or bar. Many barstools and counter stools will have some form of protective covering over the leg base. If you purchase bar stools without any covering, adding a foam or rubber base is very easy and inexpensive.

Q. How do I know the right height for my bar stools?

A. Counter and kitchen bar stools come in many different heights. Measure the height of your countertop or bar and plan on leaving 10 to 13 inches from the bottom of the counter or bar and the top of the barstool. If your bar stool or bar chair has armrests, make sure to consider their height as well.

Q. How can I make my wooden bar stools last longer?

A. Wood furniture, including wooden bar stools, should not be exposed to excessive humidity or dry air. Wood exchanges moisture with the surrounding air; dry air absorbs the moisture from the wooden bar stools and causes them to shrink, yet when the humidity in the air rises again, the bar stools will absorb the moisture from the air and swell back up to their original size. These are natural changes that happen to all wood furniture. If you have a humid home or one that is very dry, consider using an air conditioner or humidifier to keep your home's levels stable. If you are looking for outdoor bar stools, consider using metal bar stools instead of wood. Avoid placing your stools near heat sources, like fireplaces, stoves, radiators and direct sunlight, since heat can dry out the wood as well.

Floor Guides: Floor glides allow a bar stool to be pulled or pushed with ease. The low friction plastic bottom will glide over carpet, vinyl or tile floor.

Foot Plate: Bar stools featuring a metal Foot Plate boast a heavy-duty steel layer on the foot support to reduce wear and tear to the stool itself. The metal platform provides ample space for both feet. Foot plates come in different colors depending on the stool, and are an added bonus to keep your bar stools looking their best.

Adjustable Leg Levelers: Those bar stools featuring Adjustable Leg Levelers have the ability to adjust the "feet" on the stool either up or down in order to get your stool level on an uneven floor surface and help to maintain an optimally level seating surface. Adjustable leg levelers ensure that the bar stool sits solidly, even on surfaces that aren't quite level, adding valuable comfort and stability.
