When you have great barstools in your apartment or house your guests or family will feel much more connected to you, especially when meals are being prepared or they eat a quick snack or breakfast. Their ability to encourage conversations as opposed to a traditional chair situated at a dining table when it comes to these types of scenarios is unmatched! With that in mind, let’s dive into our guide that features 13 insanely good barstools that your guests and you will love!

1. Modern Faux Leather Stool

This terrific stool comes in elegant faux leather and a genius luminous chassis that adds the elegance of silver! We love that you can rotate the stool in any direction you want which is super useful, especially for more playful guests that you will have over in your apartment! The stool is super easy to assemble- there are four main parts that you need to put together

2. Kitchen Breakfast Barstool

We love the versatility of this brilliant bar stool! Although its main purpose is to be a pleasing kitchen companion, especially in the mornings, it can be easily used also outside and in other rooms as well thanks to its functional design! It’s made out of steel and quality particleboard and the stool comes with foot pads as well which is great news for any carpet out there that the stool might be on!

3. White Leather Barstool

White leather can provide an amazing sense of comfort and can feel any guest like royalty! This enjoyable barstool has adjustable height so it’s a friendly option for people of any height as well. As far as the friendliness of your carpet is concerned, it has a rubber ring in the bottom which prevents the stool from scratching the floors that it will be on.

4. Set of 4 Metal Stools

If you’re looking for a big game for your buck, then these four outstanding stools are waiting for you! Their design is wonderfully functional and so the stool won’t stand out but also will not cause anybody to think that they are too much!

8. Round Barstools

A lot of barstools out there don’t have footrests and so if this is a priority for you or you’re used to resting your feet on the barstools, this is a terrific stool not only for that but also for many other things! The craftsmanship displayed here is amazing! The seat is handcrafted from natural pinewood and that is a big deal these days.

If you’re big into coffee and you catch yourself drinking it quite a bit in your kitchen with your friends when they are over then this would be a terrific addition to your apartment! Those seats are brilliant and have a terrific color that would add to the coziness that coffee is able to provide!

The combination of the dark green with the golden legs is just something else! This barstool has so much class to it that it is evident from the first look when somebody walks into your apartment. Terrific!

How to Pick the Best Barstool

When it comes to the criteria of how to pick the best barstool, there are a few things to take into account! 

1. Easiness to Assemble

Unless you’re really into all kinds of tweaking with furniture, you certainly don’t want to be spending HOURS assembling your barstools. Check with the manufacturer how easy it actually is to assemble the barstool that you’re purchasing. If there are only a couple of pieces that you need to put together, it should take you a matter of minutes which is totally fine.

If you don’t feel like assembling the barstool at all, thankfully, there are options out there that just need to be unpacked like some of the metal barstools that we have mentioned above! This is an ideal solution if you don’t want to overthink things and just want to have a ready solution that you don’t need to worry about when it comes!

2. The comfort of the Seat

When it comes to the seat consider whether it was designed ergonomically to care for peoples’ spines and back muscles once they sit on the stool. This is especially important if you know that the stools will be used over a longer period of time on a regular basis like for eating meals at the counter. All these sitting sessions each day will add up over time and it will for sure impact your back muscles. When it comes to the material of the seat pay attention especially to the filling of the seat if it has any and if needed ask the manufacturer about it- this is a big deal and you want to make sure that this is good for your health!

4. Care for Your Floor and Carpet

One of the most neglected aspects that need to be considered when getting a barstool is whether they are floor and carpet friendly. One of the easiest ways to find out about that is to check whether the barstool has any kind of pads on its legs. In the case of the basis of the stool being circular, it is quite common for it to have a rubber ring below the basis. These types of anti-scratching design measures can save you from the terrible headaches of the floor being scratched!
