What is a rattan bar stool?
A rattan bar stool is a high-seated chair, made of rattan poles. Rattan bar stools are often equipped with footrests that ensure the comfort of their owner while balancing their footprint. Generally, these types of furniture are installed behind bar counters. You can also arrange them around high tables or stand-up tables, or in a kitchen with a counter.What are the advantages of using rattan bar stools?
Rattan bar stools are highly appreciated by restaurant, hotel, bar, bistro, and cafeteria managers, as well as by individuals for their kitchen or bar area. This is understandable, as rattan stools have several advantages:- Flexibility and lightness: the rattan from which bar stools are made has the exceptional quality of being both very light and very robust. Rattan bar stools are therefore robust and light, easy to transport, and easy to move.
- Easy maintenance: rattan resists bad weather and different seasons. With a cloth or duster, you can easily dust your furniture and preserve its timeless shine;
- Aesthetic aspect: once steamed, rattan poles soften and become easy to work with. They can be given all kinds of shapes, thus allowing your creativity to run wild when you order your custom furniture.
- Height: one of the particularities of bar stools is their height. The standard height of stools is 80 cm. If you choose to have your bar stool custom-made, you can choose the height that suits you.
What height should you choose for your bar stools?
Height requirements can be determined on a case-by-case basis. However, the factors that influence the choice of your stools' height are related to the height of your bar. In other words, the height of the bar will have a direct impact on the size of your stools. For a 100 cm bar, opt for 65 cm stools. However, if your bar is 110 cm high, go for 80 cm stools. Similarly, if your stools are 105 or 110 cm high, you should consider nesting them, paying attention to the height of your bar. As a general rule, to definitively solve the problem of your bar stool's height, allow at least 15 cm of space between the stool's seat and the bar's height.What are the different types of rattan bar stools?
