Is your bar a little small or are you just short on space? If so, finding bar furniture that is practical can be difficult. Here is one simple solution - a space saver bar stool. There are a lot of practical applications for space saver furniture and these bar stools could solve some of your problems.

In most businesses space is at a premium. For any business that involves the sale of food and/or drinks, being able to serve the optimum number of patrons is every owner’s goal. So when space is a little short you have a number of options. You can:

• accept that you can only fit x number of seats
• increase your seat number by exclusively using space saver seating
• use a combination of standard and space saver seating

Each of these options is quite valid in its own right. They do have a number of drawbacks. The first option reduces your seating capacity. You could add in another bar stool and crowd the bar - patrons may reject being overcrowded.

The second option will provide more seating, however, the space saver seats will not be practical for every patron. Let’s face it, some people have quite large rears. The third option provides the best of both worlds. You can increase your capacity, provide a range of bar stools to suit both small and large derrieres yet not give the appearance of over crowding.

Careful planning is the key to successfully managing critical issues like seating capacity. If you can get it right, your business will profit well. Get it wrong and it could cost you dearly in either lost patrons or the under utilization of space. If you are looking for bar furniture to place into difficult places, talk to a seating expert - they will often have ideas to help solve those tricky issues.
