Wood Bar Stools 

Wooden bar stools can be used to great effect to enhance any decorating theme and come in a varied range of both traditional and contemporary styles.  From chair style stools with backs and arms, to backless counter height stools, there’s something to match any décor.  Wood is a sturdy and elegant-looking material, and any bar stool with a wooden frame should stand up to years of use.

Each type of wood has its own distinct qualities and character.  For example, oak bar stools are solid, durable and beautiful, with a timeless sophistication about them and those made from cherry have characteristic rich red tones.  Teak is used in outdoor bar stools because of its natural weather-resistant properties.  Beech is another commonly used wood, which is particularly good for staining or painting.  In fact, many wood bar stools come with a choice of customizable finishes.

Whether you prefer light, dark or medium woods, you’ll get a choice of solid or padded seats.  A leather seat is often paired with a wooden frame, as these two natural materials work well together and always bring a touch of class to a room.  Swivel seats are popular, as they make getting on and off easier and are great for keeping a room looking tidy.  Saddle style seats are another option.  Wooden bar stools come in different heights, making them suitable for a variety of settings, from a kitchen counter to a home bar.
