Winsome Wood is one of the foremost manufacturers of wooden furniture, including bar stools. Paradoxically, their product line also includes metal bar stools. Their products are available in many, many styles and different types of wood. They come in various heights also. They make many stools and chairs out of beech wood, a sturdy and versatile wood.

Winsome Wood bar stools come in various styles. For example, there are traditional classic stools in 24” and 30” heights, modern style stools with square seats, Windsor chair bar stools with a fan back design, saddle seat styles bar stools, and many more. Winsome Wood bar stools also are available in a variety of finishes, including natural wood finish in both gloss and matte, and painted finishes. They have juvenile sized seats as well, so your kids do not feel left out.

Ideally, you should match your stools to the décor of your bar area. Floor height it typically measured from the floor to the seat; any seat backs or arms are not included in the measurement.
If you are shopping for bar stools, you should consider what type of bar stool you want before you start shopping. You must first decide what shape your bar stools should be and how they should function. Maybe you’ve never thought of bar stools in terms of function before, but it is worth considering whether you prefer bar stools that swivel or not, and whether you want some sort of covering or cushion as part of the bar stool or not. Generally, if you prefer a swiveling barstool you can choose between stools that swivel side to side a little and those that swivel 360 degrees. You must also decide whether or not you want your barstools to have arms and backs, or be the more traditional flat stool.

You must also what type of material you would prefer. Bar stools are available in just about any material, ranging from wood, to wrought iron, to stainless steel, and more. If you choose wood, you must choose the type of would you would like. Wood is divided into hardwoods and softwoods. Hardwoods are more expensive but more durable and resistant to warping, scratching or denting, but softwoods are significantly less expensive. Softwoods are typically light in color, and hardwoods often have distinctive, often dark colors. Hardwoods are not always dark, however. Maple, for example, is a hardwood that is light in color.

Lastly, you must decide how big your barstools should be. If your space is relatively compact, you should choose barstools that don’t have arms so that they can be tucked away when not in use. Bar stool height is usually determined relative to counter height. Typically, you will want to have 9 inches to 13 inches of space between your legs and the bottom of the bar counter. You should try actually sitting in the stool under a similar sized bar, however, as your own preferences may vary.
