Backless Bar Stools

There are many situations where backless bar stools are more practical and look more attractive than those with chair style backs.  For instance, the backless style means it is easier to slip this kind of stool neatly under a counter or table out of the way when not in use.  And where space is restricted, backless stools take up less room and help the room not to look cluttered.

Commercial bar stools often don’t have backs, as it makes it easier to get more of them in a crowded space.  They are also easier to care for, as there is no back or arms to clean.  Those with swivel seats are especially good in small or busy areas, as being able to turn around on the seat means you don’t need to move the stool to get on or off.  This is a handy feature in high traffic areas such as a kitchen, as you don’t want to be tripping over a stool left in the middle of the floor whilst you’re preparing food!

There are a number of different styles of backless bar stool seats, such as saddle style, solid or padded.  Upholstered colorful seats paired with a metal frame can add a stylish touch to a modern home, whereas simple wooden seats can fit in well in a kitchen or traditional bar.  And if you’re after a unique look to fit in with your bar’s theme, there are several styles of custom bar stools available where you can select your favorite color seat and finish.
