Table Barstools

When choosing barstools for use at a table, certain features need close scrutiny to avoid a bad fit. If you buy a full set - table and matching barstools - your work is more or less done for you by the manufacturer. However, don't assume this is the case! I've seen my share of sets that ended up being a poor fit. Here are a few tips for choosing great table barstools.

If you're getting barstools to go with an existing table, the key is taking measurements. Beyond finding stools that match the table's color and other visual characteristics, you must be sure they will actually fit the table with human beings seated in them. That means you need to have 8-12 inches of room between the top of the stool's seat and the bottom of the table for a person's thighs. Closer to 12 inches is best.

The other important measurement to take is for arm space (if you buy table barstools with armrests). You want about 6 inches of room between the top of the armrests and the bottom of the table's leading edge. Since tables can vary significantly, not only in overall height but in table thickness as well, you need to actually measure the distance from the floor to know for sure. If you're using a table that has an overhanging edge, be sure to measure from the floor to the spot where the edge ends (not the underside of the table proper).

The weight of barstools is another factor to consider when shopping for them. Table stools will be pulled out and pushed in quite often. If you have kids or older folks in your home, this can be an undue burden if you choose heavy barstools. Think ahead and find a stool design you like in a material that is lightweight.

Regardless of how heavy the table barstools are, they can cause serious damage to your floors if you don't prepare for the constant movement of them. Invest in some chair pads for the ends of the legs. They are very inexpensive and easy to apply, and they may end up saving you a costly repair bill.
