Looking for something rustic? Our natural wood high bar stools work well in rustic settings, especially with textured décor. However, here are some popular styling suggestions to be aware of.

- Modern Aesthetic: Pick wood with sleek shapes in dark stains or black finishes for a striking contrast.
- Industrial Theme: Pair repurposed wooden stools with cement textures, black metal, or exposed brick for an attic-inspired look.
Maintenance of Wooden Bar Stool
Wooden bar stools require regular care to keep their strength and beauty, just like other quality furniture. Proper maintenance of bar stools helps preserve their appearance and extend their lifespan.
- Regular Dusting & Cleaning: Dust can accumulate, especially in cracks. Use a soft, dry cloth for weekly dusting. For deeper cleaning, a gentle soap and warm water work well. Dry thoroughly using a soft towel to avoid moisture damage.
- Regular Polishing: Use furniture polish or wood enhancer every few months to maintain the finish. To enhance shine and texture, use natural products or those suggested by the supplier.
- Protect from Sunlight: Keep bar stools out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. To filter UV radiation, use drapes or shades.
- Avoid Scratches and Stains: To protect against spills and scratches, use seat cushions, placemats, or napkins to cover your furniture. When moving stools, lift them instead of dragging. To protect floors and reduce wear, put rubber or felt padding on the legs.

"Me and my wife both adore our new wooden stools that we have had for around 1 week now. Personally I was a little sceptical due to the fact that I thought the wooden seat top would be too uncomfortable to sit on however it in fact does support you a lot better and I actually feel my posture may have improved because of it."
