Modern Bar Stools Vs. Traditional Bar Stools

Whether you are shopping for bar stools for a home bar or a kitchen counter, it can be really hard to choose the best design. There are so many different designs available, that choosing just one isn't an easy task. But, the task can be a little easier when you realize that there are just two basic types of bar stools. There are traditional bar stools and modern bar stools.

Traditional Bar Stool Materials

Traditional bar stools are almost always made entirely of wood. However, you can find some traditional styles that feature metal, chrome or wrought iron backrests and other accents. Because they are made from wood, traditional bar stools are very sturdy and durable. And, they come in a wide variety of finishes such as walnut, cherry, maple and mahogany.

Traditional Bar Stool Features

Traditional bar stools are available in a variety of designs. You can choose from a basic stool that doesn't have a backrest, stools with backrests, or stools that have backrests and armrests. Some stools are simply all wood. But, if you want a more comfortable seating option, choose bar stools that have upholstered seats. And, bar stools that swivel are much easier to get in and out of.

Traditional Bar Stool Design and Care

Traditional bar stools have a classic design that will never go out of style. While they naturally blend in well with antique furnishings, they are also just as beautiful in a contemporary setting. They are also very easy to care for. Generally, a good dusting is all they need and you can maintain their shine with a good quality furniture polish.

Modern Bar Stool Materials

Modern bar stools are made from numerous different types of materials. Although the majority of them are constructed of metal, chrome or wrought iron, you can find modern bar stools made from wood, plastic and fiberglass as well. Because they are not usually made from natural materials, modern bar stools are often the best choice if you want to have an outdoor bar.

Modern Bar Stool Features

There's virtually no difference in the features of modern bar stools and traditional bar stools. Like traditional stools they are available in a basic backless style, a style with a backrest and a style with both a backrest and armrests. For comfort, you can find modern bar stools with upholstered seats in a wide selection of materials.

Modern Bar Stool Design and Care

Modern bar stools have a more contemporary and sometimes futuristic design. However, they can still be used with many themes such as Mediterranean, French Country and even traditional. They usually have a sleek design, but you can find some that have elaborate scroll work. Because they are constructed from steel and man made materials, they are very easy to care for. Generally, warm water and soap is all that is need to remove any dirt or grime.

Modern Bar Stools Vs. Traditional Bar Stools

Because both modern bar stools and traditional bar stools offer so many advantages, the best choice basically depends on personal preference. If you are shopping for bar stools for indoor use, simply choose a style that matches your existing furnishings. If you are purchasing bar stools for an outdoor area, choose stools that are made of materials that can withstand a lot of moisture.

These fine furnishings are handcrafted with care in Quebec and British Columbia and shipped worldwide for your enjoyment. Cedar is the natural choice because of its beauty, practicality and durability. RNC uses only the finest cedar to create furniture that lasts for generations. It is naturally resistant to decay, insect and weather damage. Because of this superior resistance, cedar is frequently used for outdoor fencing and siding on homes. Cedar has an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio, which means that it is both durable and easy to move about. It does not shrink or warp as many other woods commonly do. Unlike pressure-treated wood furniture, we use no chemical preservatives that may be harmful to your family's health. All log furniture is subject to the natural process of checking. Checking happens as wood releases moisture, and normally occurs across or through the annual growth rings. It is the usual result of wood seasoning. Checking occurs only on the surface of the wood, and does not affect the structural performance or integrity of the wood. On the contrary, it compliments the natural rustic appearance.
