•Adjustable Bar Stools: Just Right
The story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears is a fairytale. The fact there's a perfect living room chair for every family member, however, is not. The recliner is Dad's favorite seat as he watches sporting events or action movies. Mom prefers the couch, which lets her sit upright yet comfortably as she reads a novel. Meanwhile, the kids love to sink into beanbag chairs before playing video games. Though other chairs support the body better, none provide as much comfort as the almighty beans!...
•Chrome Bar Stools: Style In Any Decade You Want
It can be clean. It can be neat. It can be tidy or smart. It can be a fashion coup de grace or a style disaster. We could be talking about either one of two things - chrome, or the perennial barstool. Combine these two most volatile elements known to modern design and you could easily have a design train wreck on your hands explosive enough to confine you to social exile for years to come. Yes, chrome bar stools, or any bar stool for that matter, do enjoy brief outings at retro-themed parties...
•Chrome Stools Put You In The Driver's Seat
You jockey for position, but cannot seem to overtake the other vehicle or get that coveted inside track. Then suddenly, your car surges forward, about a car-length ahead of your nemesis. The other vehicle returns the favor by streaming past your automobile. This back-and-forth position changing continues until the final stretch. Neck-and-neck, both cars dart along the track, as if following a script, towards the finish line. Both you and the other vehicle speed underneath the checkered flag,...
•Designer Bar Stools: The Genuine Article
The model struts down the catwalk, flaunting the outfit she is wearing. Onlookers frantically scribble down information or type on their laptops as they quickly make an assessment of the clothing being paraded. In the meantime, the model walks towards the end of the runway where the designer clothing's label is printed. She stops, strikes a pose, and then executes a well-rehearsed turn.
The dress the model is wearing is part of the new line of one of the hottest clothing designers in the...
•Drinking In Comfort With Gas Lift Bar Stools
We like comfort. We like recliners that let us kick our feet up and make us feel like kings and queens of our living rooms. We like climate-controlled buildings where we can forget the frigid or boiling temperatures outside. We like driving around in carts while we do our shopping. After all, walking can sometimes feel like too much work, especially when we have to go from Aisle 2 to Aisle 45. Yes, we like comfort. We like it anywhere we can find it, and while tipping our mugs at the local...
•Go Bananas Over Barstools
They used to be throw-ins, no more than last-minute additions to record rooms and kitchens. When people plan homes, they think in terms of serious furniture - leather couches, tables made of hardwood, and chairs that, by themselves, make great conversational pieces. The barstool, it seems, could not quite transition from its status as portable, temporary seats to serious furniture you include in blueprints. Today, times are changing, and after years of being relegated as ass warmers in smoky...
•Hot Days, Cool Drinks, And Kitchen Counter Stools
It is the hottest day of the summer. The sun is relentlessly beating down on you, as if to avenge all of last winter's cold, cloudy days. But you are determined to avoid taking a break until after you have mowed the entire lawn. Your skin feels like leather, and your throat is as dry as the Atacama Desert-the hottest place on Earth. You keep reminding yourself that Earth contains 326 million trillion gallons of water, but that just makes you thirstier. As you start feeling faint, pushing the...
•Kitchen Counter Stools Turn A Slab Into A Canvas
Close your eyes for a minute.
When you think of the word "kitchen," what comes to mind? Maybe you remember the stovetop-oven-broiler combo where all of your tasty, hot food is prepared. From piping hot beef and vegetable stew to steaming chewy chocolate chip cookies and fresh Halibut in lemon sauce, many people would argue that the finished product is what matters. For others, the refrigerator is the secret vault of the kitchen. If you want a cold soda, fresh eggs, or a gallon of Ultimate...
•Kitchen Stools: Furniture For A Happier Home
In the childhood memories of every good cook, there's always a large kitchen, a warm stove, a simmering pot, and a mom who turns cooking into a science. There's a recent upgrade to this memory, however, and it comes in the form of a kitchen stool.
These days, kitchen stools have become mainstay household furniture. As more and more people spend time catching up on family news in the kitchen rather than in the living room, there is greater need for today's kitchen to be space-efficient....

Imagine a life where you're not allowed to turn. You can't turn your head, or your leg. You can't turn to your left or right. You can't turn knobs to open doors.

•No Early Retirement For Wood Stools
Who doesn't like furniture made of wood? There's a quiet beauty to wood, a timelessness, a hushed elegance that endures changing seasons, fads, and owners. When you buy wood stools, you bring the rustic feel of the forest into your home. You remind yourself of lazy afternoon walks through the countryside or a childhood spent clambering up mulberry trees. Whether solid or veneer, though, your wood stools require maintenance to retain its natural beauty.
The Usual Suspects
Moisture, dust,...
•Power Lunching On Bistro Tables
Lunch has been a midday nightmare. The mussels in cream sauce tasted like slime in cheap wine. The chicken in the roasted chicken sandwich had the flavor of burnt rubber. The vegetables in the salad tasted like month-old compost. Sitting across from your potential client at the bistro table, you watch as he slowly chews his food, trying not to grimace. When you ask him how his meal is, he flashes a fake smile and replies, "Delicious. I can't think of a better meal." Obviously, he's lying. But...
•Reach New Heights With High Bar Stools
Some people and things are heads and shoulders above the competition.
Robert "The Alton Giant" Wadlow would tower above any of today's pro wrestlers or basketball players. At almost nine feet tall, Wadlow is the tallest person in modern history. Then, there's Mount Everest. When measured from sea level, Mount Everest is easily the world's tallest mountain, nearing 9,000 meters in height. How about the world's tallest building? Over 500 meters and 1,600 feet tall, Taiwan's Taipei 101 holds...
•Retro Bar Table - Resurrected!
Who says the dead do not come back to life? Retro did. When it died, it was deader than a doornail. When it came back, however, it returned not once, or twice, but several times and in different incarnations. The late 90s saw the comeback of bell bottomed trousers and platform shoes. The early years of the 21st century was a cornucopia of loud retro colors and even louder prints. At any given time, retro-themed shindigs are thrown by rather misled individuals wherever and whenever they can....
•Sit In A New Level Of Comfort With Leatherette Bar Stools
Riiing! With the sound of the bell, the two gates automatically open. The bull bursts out into the arena. You grip the reigns with both hands, holding onto them for dear life. You feel as if you're riding a roller coaster, except that there are no rollers on this creature. The bull darts forward for a while, hoping to throw you off. Then, like a bronco on caffeine, it suddenly kicks up its back legs. You lean back to stay balanced, throwing an arm behind you. The bull snorts and then quickly...
•Sitting In Style With Brown Leather Bar Stools
Once upon a time, you had no need for furniture. You sat before campfires with friends and family and debated how best to cook that mammoth you caught. However, as you moved from cave to huts, and eventually into apartments and even Park Avenue co-ops, you discovered the wonders of furniture. The murals discovered at Pompeii, the sculptures excavated in Egypt, and the shards of objects from tombs in Ghiordes all point to one incontrovertible fact: humankind cannot live with an empty house...
•Start Your Day Right With Breakfast Bar Stools
How well a day goes is determined by how it started. We've all heard it before - when you're cranky, you got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. There's also no agony worse than the agony of nursing a hangover the morning after a drunken night out. Indeed, mornings can be grueling; and as the day progresses, they can become even more so. Mornings, however, can also be very enjoyable. After all, it plays host to the most important meal of the day - breakfast. Breakfast is a good time...
•The Second Coming Of The Wood Bar Stool
Unlike its overpriced, designer, leather, vinyl, or hard plastic-trimmed counterparts, the wood bar stool unfortunately does not enjoy the degree of affection and admiration due it. Neither does it attract any of the snobby, pseudo-intellectual comments usually directed to its spidery chrome counterpart. Traditionally, the wood bar stool has been the preserve of old man pubs, sports bars, and home dining room breakfast counters amongst the aspiring middle classes. As a result, we may blame...
•Wood Bar Stools: Proving Original Is Best
The California sun shines on you with a ferocity that makes you feel like a dried up prune. Since dawn, you have been "panning" along the stream. You fill the shallow pan with a scoop of gravel and sand from the bank, and then dip the container into the waterway. Then, you begin shaking the pan. Suddenly, something catches your eye. You spot a tiny gold bit glistening in the water. You look again and realize that several bits like that are floating in the pan. After standing up and doing your...
