How to Choose the Best Plastic Bar Stool for Your Home and Restaurant

21/05/2021

Bar stools are the newest top choices for your home and business. They don’t just speak of seating functionality but also reflect the social aspect of dining, getting together, and having conversations with people.

For a home, bar stools are where you sit and have casual talks with friends and family. For a restaurant or coffee shop, bar stools are the symbol of first conversations with strangers who might turn out as friends or something more.

Bar stools are versatile, stylish, and functional to put on any space or venue. They are efficient seating plans for a home’s bar counter, dining room, and living room, and have been dominating the hotel and restaurant industry such as restaurants, bars, and coffee shops.

But choosing the best bar stool for your home or restaurant requires more than just deciding its style and design. There are things to consider and factor in when shopping for and buying the most compatible bar stool for your needs.

Here is a comprehensive guide in choosing the best plastic bar stool for residential and commercial needs.

Why Do You Need to Buy a Bar Stool?

Bar stools are high and narrow chairs that you can typically find in restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and pubs. Recently, bar stools have also been becoming popular in homes’ kitchen islands and bar counters.

One of the main reasons why bar stools are a great addition to your space is that they are high and narrow. Not only will they save more space than bulky and wide chairs, they also provide brand new aesthetics to your place.

Bar stools and counter stools are also the wisest choice when you have a small and minimalist space. If traditional chairs don’t work out, go for bar stools instead. Because of their high and narrow profile, bar stools will surely give you ample legroom even when you have a small place or layout for your dining room or restaurant.

Why Choose Plastic?

At MAKA Furniture, we advocate the use of recycled plastic as an eco-friendly alternative to other furniture materials out there. Recycled plastics have minimal impact on the environment, and you can even recycle or upcycle them afterward.

Plastic bar chairs and stools are more durable than their wooden counterparts. They are sure to last for years because they don’t rot, rust, or break when exposed to the elements of nature. They are also sturdy, lightweight, and stackable, so you can easily arrange them however you want, whenever you want.

MAKA plastic bar stools are also designed to have non-marking feet for your floor’s protection. You no longer have to worry about skid marks when moving the stools around. The non-marking feet of the bar stools also help you maintain your place in top shape with little need for maintenance. There are also anti-slip pads at the feet of the bar stools for added safety of anyone who will sit on the stool.

Finally, MAKA plastic bar stools have passed international standard testing and patenting. It means that they have undergone a series of load testing, drop testing, UV-light testing, and other requirements to ensure that they are safe to use. They also have original designs so that you know they are not cheap knock-offs and really offer the highest quality for your needs.

Things to Consider in Buying a Bar Stool

Buying a bar stool takes more than just sauntering in a furniture shop and getting the one that catches your fancy. It needs a lot of planning and measuring, too!

Not every bar stool will fit your space. So, you have to measure the height of your table or countertop to make sure that the bar stools can fit underneath it. You also have to measure the width and length of your space so that you’ll know which size of bar stool will give you some legroom and how many bar stools will fit in your functional space.

The important thing is that your bar stools should not be too low that the guests will have a hard time reaching the countertop nor too high that they have to stoop down the table. The height of the table and the stools should be proportional for a natural seating position to occur.

Seat Height and Table Height Comparison

To help you out in your search for the best bar stool, here are the recommended measurements for your easier reference:

  • Chair – the seat height of a chair typically measures 17-20 inches. This is best recommended if your table height is 30-33 inches.
  • Counter stool – the seat height of a counter stool usually measures 23-28 inches. This is best recommended if your counter height is 35-37 inches.
  • Bar stool – the seat height of a bar stool usually measures 29-32 inches. This is best recommended if your table or counter height is 41-43 inches.

Measurement Guidelines for Bar Stools

To make sure that your measurements are correct and the bar stool that you will pair with your table or counter is the perfect fit, here are some guidelines to help you out:

  • Measure from the top part of your table or counter to the floor. The floor where you will put the bar stools should be on an equal level with your table.
  • To get the ideal seating height of your bar stool, subtract at least 10 inches from the height of your table.
  • There should be at least 6 inches of space between the bar stools. When measuring, allot more space if you are buying a swivel stool or a bar stool with armrest. This will give you the optimum legroom and moving space for your guests without them bumping into each other.

Knowing the exact measurements of your table, bar stools, and the overall space will prevent you from buying the wrong size of stools for your home or business. This will also ensure that you have hassle-free shopping of perfect and tailor-fit plastic bar stools for your place.
