Bar Stools: Metal or Wood?
Bar stools are one of the most important aspects of the bar- whether a home bar or commercial bar. You want to be sure you get the right stools for your purpose so your guests will be comfortable and your bar will look great. When choosing the right chairs for your bar, you will see that the two main classifications are metal and wood. After that, you can break the bar stools down into many other classifications but this is where you will start.
Metal or wood? This can be a difficult choice to make when you have never had to buy bar stools before. There are some different things to consider. You want to take all things into consideration when making your decision between metal or wood. Strength, durability, style, size, budget and overall décor in the bar should all be taken into consideration.
Wooden bar stools have been around a lot longer than metal and they remain a tried and true choice for any bar. Wood bar furniture gives you a warm, traditional look. They come in a variety of stains or painted colors and varying heights to match different bars or tables. They can also come with many different upholstery options and colors for you choose from.
Metal bar stools have a more modern design and came about after a desire for chairs to be more sturdy and strong. They are more difficult to break and will last for a long time in a commercial setting. Metal stools can also be used in outdoor bar settings where wood chairs would typically not hold up.
Metal bar stools are thought to generally be more durable, can withstand outdoor weather and will last through the years. Sometimes wood is combined with metal to create a bar stool that has the traditional look of wood but with the durability and strength of metal.
In addition to choosing between metal or wood, you may also have to consider other features such as swivel or stationary, colors and heights. Price will most often depend on the overall quality of the raw materials that are used to make the bar stool you are purchasing. Both wood and metal bar stools can range in prices.
However, wooden bar stools are most often cheaper than their metal counterparts. This is another reason why they are often chosen. But don’t let the price deter you if you are already set on a particular type of bar stool for other reasons. If money is a factor though, you can often find discounts from online stores.
Bar stools come in a variety of materials for you to choose from and they can greatly enhance the look of any interior design. You should carefully plan for your bar stools whether installing them at a home bar or in a restaurant or other commercial location.
