Seven Bar Stool Buying Mistakes That Could Make Your Kitchen Uncomfortable

Most uncomfortable bar stools are not badly made. They are simply the wrong choice for the kitchen they end up in. In this practical guide we walk through the seven mistakes we see most often and explain how to avoid each one. They include buying the wrong height, ignoring the worktop overhang, squeezing in too many stools, skipping the footrest, choosing backless stools when you need support, picking a material that does not suit your household and forgetting about the floor beneath. For each mistake we explain why it causes discomfort and give clear measurements and checks, from the 25 to 30 cm legroom gap to around 60 cm of counter per stool. We also cover smaller details such as seat depth, weight and visual bulk in compact kitchens. Read it before you choose, and your new stools should stay comfortable, practical and pleasant to sit on for many years to come....
