Metal Bar Stools 

Bar stools can be made from various types of metal, each with their own features.  When shopping for metal bar stools you’ll find there’s a plethora of different styles to choose from, but it’s important to think about usage as well as good looks.  For instance, wrought iron bar stools look very attractive and make a bold statement, but remember that this metal is very heavy so may not be suited to a busy kitchen for example.  In that setting, a lighter metal such as aluminum or chrome might be more appropriate.

Wrought iron is strong and decorative and as such is wonderful for a unique look in a stylish room, perhaps where you entertain.  Aluminum and chrome bar stools on the other hand tend to have simple, clean lines making them easy to keep clean and suited to functional, casual use.  Stainless steel is another popular metal, which is low maintenance and versatile.  It’s commonly used in retro designs and in outdoor bar stools as well, where it’s rust-proof and durable.

Custom bar stools made from 16 gage powder coated steel are available in a choice of finishes from antique gold to matte black, so you can pick the finish that would fit in best with your décor scheme.  You can also choose whether you want stationary or swivel seats, and what color fabric you’d prefer.  Metal bar stools come in different heights for different situations, including extra tall and counter height, so no matter where you want to use your stools, you should be able find one that fits perfectly.
