Bar furniture used to be simple, practical, and boring. There is no other word for it - they were boring. These days, bar stools in particular look more inviting and certainly more stylish than ever before.

Take this Captains Mate bar stool. It looks classy yet it’s practical and comfortable - boring? no way! It features a padded seat, curved back with armrests that don’t protrude too far and a metal foot rest. It can also be purchased with a padded back.

This is just one of many different styles. This has the colonial look but if you’re looking for modern, there are plenty to choose from. The one thing you won’t find anymore is a plain three-legged bar stool that is uncomfortable and just plain boring.

What is important to note when considering bar furniture is whether or not it has been built to commercial or domestic standards, and yes, there is a difference. Domestic standards cater for intermittent use. Commercial bar stools are manufactured to withstand non-stop use. If you have a busy bar then there is no such thing as intermittent use - at least, you hope not.

Bar furniture, like bar stools, comes in a wide range of materials ranging from your classic timbers to all metal. They are also available in a wide range of styles - with/without backs, swivel, armrests, padded seats and/or backs, footrests and more.

If you’re looking for bar furniture with a difference - you can find it. The hardest part is trying to determine which is going to look the best in your bar. We can’t help you there, but we can certainly help you obtain it once you make your selection.
