Picking A Barstool For Your Restaurant Bar.
Here are some considerations when choosing a barstool for use in your restaurantās bar. Some may seem obvious but others you may not have thought of.
THE BAR IS WHERE THE $$$ IS MADE
The bar makes money. And depending on your establishment you may not mind patrons lingering there for extended periods. For this reason, its good to have a comfortable stool. Our Berkeley Barstool features a perfect mix of comfort and durability.
MAXIMIZE YOUR BAR SPACE
Bar space is premium space. When deciding how many stools to use, allow about 24ā for each patron.
The width of the seat on the stool can have as much to say about its comfort as the type of material it is made of. Wider seats are more comfortable.
Backless stools, like our Trent Backless Barstools, allow more seating, but are not as comfortable as stools with a back. Nevertheless, backless barstools are perfect for many establishments.
Swivel stools, like our Lima Swivel Barstool, also help accommodate more patrons by not requiring as much movement of the stool to access it.
TO MATCH OR NOT TO MATCH
Stools can match your dining seating, but they donāt have to. Using a similar or complimentary style is worth considering, especially if it means a more comfortable sit. For example, our beautiful Memphis Barstools are made of durable and beautiful ash wood and come in a wide range of complimentary colors to match any bar decor.
THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DETAILS
Make sure the stools have strong foot rests. Along with providing a perch for the patron’s feet, it is not unheard of for smaller patrons to use it as a step and you want it to accommodate their full weight. BFM Seating’s Monterey Barstool features comfortable seating material combined with a good looking and strong footrest.
Check the hardware and joints of your stools regularly. They can be subject to more wear and tear than dining seating.
Making your bar as inviting and comfortable as you can will insure your patrons are comfortable and inclined to stay as well as comeback.
