Swivel Bar Stools: Give Your Kitchen a Twist
It sounds awkward to sit on a metal or wooden chair and you hear that scraping sound on the floor. It is not only nasty, but the constant friction of its contact with floor creates a noticeable damage too.
The solution: swivel bar stools. This stool rotates allowing the person to seat and face in different direction. Unlike the regular tall chairs that need to pushed or pulled, a swivel bar stool can be so easy to get in and out of. Their versatility and height is just enough to maximize the floor space of your kitchen or dining area. You can choose to have these stools come with back, arms or foot rests. They can be fabricated from wood, metal, plastics or combination of these materials. There are seats that are padded, while others are not. Though there are different sizes, a swivel stool is usually 29-31 inches in height.
The right stool must have a swivel mechanism that rotates with ease. Some chairs would allow the seated person to rotate to 360 degrees while others only twist up to 180 degrees. You should also make sure that if the stool has back and arm rests, they should not touch the counter when they swivel as they can damage the counter and the bar stool.
