Designer Bar Stools

If you're ready to step up in quality and uniqueness in your home furnishings, designer bar stools may be right up your alley. Designer stools are manufactured to exacting standards and with the highest quality materials. They stand out from other bar stools in their unique designs and superior quality.

Designer stools often feature more traditional styles, with a heavy emphasis on wood and a thick, sturdy look. With one look, you can often tell a designer bar stool from a regular one because of this increased solidity.

Beyond the visual appeal, designer bar stools are manufactured in a more detailed manner. Attention to detail is one of the distinguishing characteristics of designer stools. Joints tend to be double-doweled for more stability. Floor glides (on the bottoms of the legs to keep from scuffing your floors) are thicker and better adhesives are used. Higher quality wood is used, which is more thoroughly stained or treated.

All of that quality does come with a higher price tag, as you would expect. Each bar stool can run well over $1,000 for a top-of-the-line designer model. However, if you take some time to research on the Internet, you can find some real bargains on designer stools. Many stool vendors are locked in a heated competition to win new customers. That has created a 'buyer's market' situation, where you can pick up a great set of designer bar stools for the price of a regular set - if you look hard enough.

Even if you have the means to afford any bar stool out there, a designer stool may not be a good idea under certain circumstances. It can be quite expensive to repair or replace a broken stool, so if you have kids or anticipate a lot of use, you may be better served with a less expensive set of stools. This is even more true in a busy bar or restaurant, where not only do you get a lot more use, but that use tends to be harsher. After all, people are always harder on things they don't own.
