Type of construction

All chairs of this type can be divided into three main types.

With backrest

By and large, this is an ordinary stool, only with high legs and the presence of the back. Some types can be equipped with a lumbar back. Then the height increases by about 32 cm. Comfortable and comfortable, however, are not designed for long sitting - the back will be tired very quickly.

Kitchen option with backrest

Standard

The usual design and shape with the back. They can often be found in a cafe or bar. The seat may not always be soft, most often semi-rigid or completely rigid.

Standard options that can be found everywhere

Half seat

It is worth choosing for permanent use. It is characterized as very comfortable, reliable and durable. It has a back height of about 35 cm. It can be equipped with armrests, soft seat. They are more expensive than all previous competitors.

Seat for classic kitchen

In form

Until recently, all the chairs of this segment had a traditional round seat. Today's range is complemented by:

In loft style - a modern approach to design

The same applies to the back. They make them:

Very important for small kitchens

On high legs

This parameter does not have one constant. Typically, the height is selected under the bar. Here, emphasis should be placed on the height (distance) between the table top and the seat. Standardly it should be about 30 cm.

The height of the chairs is selected under the bar counter

For kitchens with a large useful area, the height of the bar can be increased. Most often it is 100-115 cm. Chairs to it should have a height not lower than 90-95 cm.

There are folding bar stools. In such models, the height is adjusted to each specific case. They are worth buying if there is a dining table and a bar in the kitchen.

The form must be selected on the basis of their tastes and interior.

Type of legs

The number of legs is another important parameter of choice. From this will depend on the stability of the structure.

One leg

Homeland of this model is America. They used it in Texas salons. The model is considered reliable, durable, durable. Deserved passed all the tests of time. If you like this design, then buying it, pay attention to the base. Ideally, it should be, in comparison with the seat, of the same size. From this will depend on sustainability.

Reliable and durable model

Two legs

Models with two legs - a modern design transformation of a traditional bar stool. Often used in styling. High tech.

This model cannot be called sustainable, therefore I do not recommend buying it to a family where children or elderly people live.

In the overall picture of the style look decent.

Not very stable and comfortable models.

Three legs

Also, like the previous ones, they cannot boast of a high degree of stability. But having the correct shape and location of the supports (legs) are considered better.

Before choosing, especially before buying, I recommend to check the bar stool in practice. Sit down on it, turn around. If you do not feel the imbalance, you can safely take it. At the slightest imbalance, abandon this model.

It is important to first test it in practice.

Four legs

The most reliable, stable and durable. Fit well in the interior. And any of the styles. Have a wide variety of colors.. I will not recommend anything here. Everyone has the right to choose what they like more, to which the soul and heart lie more.

Mini bar with standard chairs

Non-standard leg shapes

Such models in the finished form are sold very rarely. Usually they are ordered personally. But this should also be done for a reason, as they say "from the lantern." Before making a design, consider the form, make sure that it will not disturb you during operation.. It will be firm, secure to stand on the floor. The protruding parts and elements, if present, will not touch your legs while sitting on the chair.
