Pub stools are the perfect accompaniment to any pub or bar, the range available is amazing, allowing the pub landlord to create the perfect atmosphere for a thriving, bustling environment. So varied are the stool designs that any decor will match, from a traditional countryside tavern with wooden beams and a roaring fire, to a sleek metropolitan gastropub with a view of the city. Commercial quality wooden stools give a utilitarian approach to contemporary design, providing both functionality and high fashion.
Whether standing in a row at a countertop or dotted in groups around a bar table in the throng of the crowd, bar stools are comfortable; with ergonomic designs that allow people to relax and unwind after a hard day of work.
Rustic styles are formed from fine grained wood, with bentwood designs that stand on four legs in natural oak, walnut and cognac finishes. There are those with padded cushions, sporting high density foam, and those with tall backrests for exemplary support, all elegant and eye catching. They work perfectly among furniture that is much older, thanks to timeless designs that are classic and enduring.
Modern designs come in a whole medley of materials, such as natural, luxurious real leather for undeniable class, and soft faux leather upholstery, which is stain repellent and can easy be cleaned should anything be spilled on it, needing only a wipe with a damp cloth. There is retro style moulded ABS; a hard wearing polymer usually found in a high gloss finish and a resplendent range of colours. This is perfect for vibrant decor, and you can even mix and match several shades to great effect, providing superb visual impact.
Some items prize form over function, with sweeping, detailed lines designed to be used as a focal point in any room, whereas others cosset your body with plush, accommodating seats that have quilted surfaces for an opulent touch.For strength and for rigidity, most modern designs have a steel frame, which can come in various guises. Tubular steel is often used, as are squared bars which come together to form a box frame, or are held as four sturdy legs, complete with floor protectors beneath.
The most dynamic frame type is the gas lift stool. These have a variable height hydraulic mechanism that raises or lowers the seat and turns through 360 degrees, providing easy access to any bar area and allowing you to tailor the stool for different occupants or for various places on the property. A stable weighted base consolidates their upmarket feel, with a cast iron core that lowers the centre of gravity and reinforces the feel of security. The frames are beautifully welded and can come either in a hand worked stainless steel finish or mirror finish chromed plating. Brushed steel has the contemporary edge, being both subtle yet striking at the same time, whilst chrome is the more established of the two and is very durable and scratch resistant, perfect for a busy location.
