Swivel Bar Stool
A Chair with a Twist: The Swivel Bar Stool
Don’t you just hate the sound of scraping wood or metal chairs on your kitchen floor? Not only does it sound nasty, but the constant friction causes visible damage on your floor.
A swivel bar stool is a kind of a bar stool that rotates or swivels allowing the seated person to face in different direction. Unlike other tall chairs that need to be pushed or pulled, a swivel bar stool is so easy to get in and out of. They are versatile and tall to be used in high counters and are narrow enough to save floor space. Like traditional bar stools, a swivel bar stool may or may have backs, arms or foot rests. A swivel bar stool may be made from wood, metal, plastic or a combination of materials. Its seat can be padded or not. Though it comes in different sizes, an average sized swivel bar stool is usually 29-31 inches from the floor to the seat.
In choosing a swivel bar stool, make sure that its swivel mechanism rotates with ease. Some units allow up to 360 degrees rotation while others only twist up to 180 degrees. Some swivel bar stools can be fitted with a memory return swivel mechanism. This mechanism is spring loaded that allows only about 100 degrees rotation in either direction and reverts back to its original position. Also with swivel bar stools with back and arms, make sure that they don’t touch the counter when they swivel as this may damage the counter as well as the bar stool.
