Leather Bar Stools Are In
Historically leather chairs were in the sole purview of the rich and famous or perhaps hidden away in private men’s clubs, the types of clubs frequented politicians, doctors and powerful business men. Thankfully those days are gone. Nothing quite adds a splash of class quite like leather bar stools, and now these chairs are affordable to all.
Today leather bar stools are becoming more and more common. They can be found in very average commercial ventures and middle class homes. In many ways leather furniture makes a lot of sense. Not only are these bar stools comfortable but accidental spills can very often be taken care of with a damp cloth. Leather is also very durable which adds years to the lifespan of your bar stool. There are definitely more inexpensive leather bar stool made with inferior or B grade leather but bar stools made with Grade A or first quality leather can look good for years.
The bar stools currently available on the market are either the standard 30″ which is bar height or the shorter 24″ styles which are better suited for breakfast bars. The best choice for a family with children would be the shorter 24″ stool. The height of the stool is determined by the height of the bar or table they are intended to match.
Leather bar stools come in every color of the rainbow. I have personally seen natural leather, dark tan, black, silver, green, white, brown and blue stools. Made to order bar stools can be developed in any color imaginable. The legs of these bar stool are generally stained a complimentary color. However they can also be painted. Stools with metal legs are also available but less common.
Cushioned stools are definitely more comfortable but you might find that they don’t wear as well. These stools also come in a leather sling version. You can find bar stools with backs, bar stools with backs and arms and barstools without backs. There is no right or better variety and it is all a matter of personal choice.
Leather bar stools are easy to clean and, with a little care, these stools can last for decades. Generally a damp cloth is all that you need. If you see some wear and tear on the arms you might want to rub some protective oil on to the worn parts. Just make sure you wipe off any excess oil before anyone sits at the stool. To further protect your leather furniture you can spray a leather protector once per year. Leather furniture of all types, including stools seem to look richer as they age but it is best to do some preventative care. Whether they be for your home of business good quality leather bar stools are never a bad choice.
