Make your bar stool last – tips that may help

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 | Permalink

With the ever rising cost of durable, lasting furniture, just about everyone is looking for ways to make each purchase last. If you are considering purchasing a quality bar stool for your home, you may want to browse this article for care instructions that can add significant life to each bar stool that you own. We all know that bar stools are a versatile and beautiful alternative to chairs or other seating options. They add a liveliness and modern look to any décor, and in most cases, they often cost less than traditional dining room chairs. By following the tips below, you can stretch your decorating budget even further.

Wooden Bar Stool

Wood is just one of the many materials that today’s top bar stools are made from. Caring for wood is a simple and straight forward process. First off, it is important to keep wood furniture out of harsh direct sunlight if at all possible. Direct sunlight for extended periods of time can lead to warping, fading and an overall deprecation of the appearance of your purchase. Make sure you dust and clean your wood furniture on a regular basis. A build up of dirt and oil can change the color of wood and even shorten the lifespan of your bar stool. Use a soft cloth to dust with and use a top quality polish or moistening agent to extend the life of your purchase even further. One final tip, it is important to keep wood away from air vents for the same reason it is important to keep them away from direct sunlight: prolonged exposure can warp and damage the appearance of wood.

Metal Bar Stool

Metal bar stools are growing increasingly popular thanks to their long lasting durability and the fact that they can be used outside on the patio and inside at the dinner table. Keeping your metal furniture clean is an important part of extending the life of your purchase. Make sure you never use any harsh or abrasive cleaners on your metal furniture. Many of these cleaners contain alkali, which can damage the surface. If you have tough stains that need extra attention, use hot and soapy water, but make sure you completely dry the surface when you are done so no rusting occurs.

Leather Bar Stool

More and more of today’s popular bar stool models are upholstered in leather. Almost all leather products come with their own specific instructions or products that are made to clean that particular type of leather. If no such instructions exist, either speak to the manufacturer or pick up a leather-only cleaner from your local grocery store. In most cases, a small bottle of leather cleaning solution will last for months. Simply dab the cleaner onto the leather and wipe away. Using the wrong kind of cleaner for leather can cause cracking and an overall deterioration of the appearance of your bar stool.

As you can see, proper care for you bar stool isn’t difficult. With the right attention and care, your purchase can last for a generation.

I Want A Wooden Bar Stool

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 | Permalink

If you are in the process of shopping for just the right set of kitchen stools for your home, you may be surprised at how many different choices you have to make. You first have to decide what material you want your bar stool made out of as well as what height you want your bar stool to be. One of the most important decisions has to do with using a cushioned seat or a bare one. On the surface, this may look like a no brainer, but both sides have their plusses and their minuses.

Cushions

Many people would say that an upholstered and cushioned seat is far more comfortable than one without. Cushions make sitting for long periods of time a bit easier, which could be a factor if you choose to use your kitchen stools in rooms other than the kitchen. When you choose a cushioned seat, you also open the door for upholstery in all of its many forms. You can go with understated upholstery or with something flashier such as leather. You can choose soft foam or even a feather stuffing for added luxury. Best of all, you can change up the upholstery you use every few years to give your bar stool a whole new look and a whole new lease on life.

No Cushions

The no cushion look is becoming more and more popular, and not just in the home. More and more bars are choosing to go with bare wood for several reasons. Primarily, the bare wood look is easier to take care of and easier to clean up after than cushions. Even leather upholstery can stain or be ripped due to clothing or just bad luck. With exposed wood, spills can be easily wiped up, although a good dark stain will also help hide any staining. Although many people may say that a cushioned bar stool is more comfortable, folks with bad backs or with poor posture may benefit from the absence of any cushion. Even if you choose to go without a cushion, proper care is still vitally important if you wish to get the most out of your investment.

The best of both worlds

The removable cushion look is often described as old fashioned and a bit dated, but it can provide the best of both worlds depending on how you are using your bar stool at that moment. Removable cushions often come with ties that secure the cushion to the stool and can be easily removed for cleaning or if someone simply doesn’t want to use it. Best of all, you can make your own cushions out of whatever material you like featuring whatever pattern and fabric you want to use, and these types of cushions can be created on a very tight budget. You can even have matching ones that go with curtains, table clothes or even your counter tops.

Deciding where, and how, you sit is a big decision. Be sure you look at both sides of the cushion or uncushioned debate before making a decision.

Commercial bar stool, for your pubs, bars and clubs

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 | Permalink

A commercial bar stool has a few different attributes to our range of non-commercial bar stools. For example, a bar stool has a base whether it stands on one leg or 4 generally our commercial bar stools have 4 legs because they are much stronger and resistant to people sitting on and moving about a lot. Basically what we’re saying is commercial bar stools are built to last, a non commercial bar stool wouldn’t be used has much as a commercial bar stool so they don’t need to be high quality materials which is why there is a price difference.

Looking for the right Bar Stool

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 | Permalink

When looking for a bar stool you’ll want one that is going to be long lasting of course and not all non-commercial bar stools are, you need to make sure you are buying quality furniture not a knock of product. So be careful when you see bar stools for very cheap prices, the build quality isn’t always has good as it could be when you spend 10 or 20 pounds more on a similar design.

When you’re busy deciding what bar stool it is you want if it’s for your kitchen for example think about the design of the kitchen is it contemporary? Or does it have more a wooden feel to it? This is key to making sure your bar stool will fit into your kitchen. Now of course I’m using the kitchen as an example, if you have your own home bar, then of course you’ll want a bar stool for that but the same sort of mind set is needed do you have a classic looking bar? Do you want a wooden bar stool to match? Of course you would.

So now you’ve narrowed down the style of bar stool, it’s time to look around but as I mentioned earlier don’t look for a cheap deal, because it doesn’t mean the stool is going to last after your one year warranty. So, price means a lot in the bar stool world because of the quality and work that goes into stools making them stable from the grade of the materials and the quality of the build. Certain styles of stools have been replicated over and over, the build quality is lost over time and it can be hard to find the right stool with a good build quality.

When you’re looking for a bar stool, the only place is Simply Bar Stools. Quality always comes first.

Things to consider before you shop for your Bar Stool

Monday, May 17th, 2010 | Permalink

Shopping for new furniture can be an incredibly fun experience as well as an extremely frustrating one. The idea of completely re-doing a room is exciting and most people enjoy the shopping experience, but since you never quite know how a piece is going to look in a room until you actually see it there and many people often want furniture that is out of their price range, the buying experience can be frustrating, as well. If you are heading out on a junket to purchase a bar stool, keep the following tips in mind before you sign on the dotted line.

 Versatility of a Bar Stool

 Although there is no denying that today’s modern bar stools are beautiful, elegant and durable, the number one reason why people choose a bar stool over other seating options is versatility. The fact that you can easily grab one, or sometimes even two, bar stools and take them from room to room, including outdoors on the patio or balcony, and have them look great in any surrounding is what makes them such an attractive purchase. When you are out pricing the perfect bar stool, you want to keep this in mind. However, imagining how a piece of furniture will look in multiple locations at once can be almost impossible. Try bringing along full color photographs of the exact location where your new bar stool will be located. Make sure you measure out all of the areas you are looking to use the bar stool  in so you know that you’ll always have space. Try lifting the bar stool you are interested in and make sure you ask about the materials the bar stool is made out of. If you can find the bar stool that look great in casual and formal occasions, you can move on to step two.

Durability of a Bar Stool

If you live in a home with small kids, you know how important durability can be. Kids kick things, fall off things and aren’t quite as careful with furniture as most adults are.  Bar stools need to be tested for durability not only when used around kids and teens, but also because they are moved from room to room, and even outside, far more than the average dining room chair. Find out the brand of bar stool that you are looking to buy and do some research to see if they are worthy of your purchase.  You may also want to find out about the warranty, as well.

Beauty of a Bar Stool

A bar stool can be versatile, comfortable and durable, but if it isn’t beautiful, do you really want to use it? Since your average set of bar stools are used in many different rooms and in many different settings, you are going to be seeing a lot of them, which means you had better like what you see. On the surface, finding one set of bar stools that embody all of these qualities may seem tough, but the reality is that most of today’s top quality bar stools meet and even exceed these qualifications. It is still important to ask questions, however, and even more important to do your research.
