Choosing The Right Type Of Bar Stools For Your Cafe

Whether you’re renovating or just planning to start a cafe, you should understand that bar stools are impression-leavers for your customers.

When customers visit cafes, they do not want to be uncomfortable or readjust too frequently in their chair. If they find the bar stool uncomfortable or not appealing, they might not come back. Comfort is key! What you need is the best set of durable yet functional bar stools to keep your customers coming back.

How To Pick The Best Bar Stool For Your Cafe

Check out ways you can pick the best type of bar stool for your cafe below:

Choosing the Right Seat Height.

A common mistake that people make when shopping for cafe bar stools is not considering the correct seat height. If you want to get the most out of your bar stool, ensure that you pick the right seat height for your tables. 

To determine the suitable floor to seat height of the bar stools in your cafe, first measure from the floor to the underside of the countertop or table top. As a general rule of thumb,  a table height that is up to 80cm requires a small stool (44cm-47cm), a table height that is up to 100cm requires a medium stool (64cm-67cm) and a table height above 100cm requires a tall stool (74cm-77cm).

You don’t want your customers to be uncomfortable while enjoying their meal, so you need to make sure you purchase suitable stools. You can check our online store or visit us in our showroom to see our wide variety of bar stools..

Consider the number of bar stools that’ll be in your Cafe.

The size of the counter or table in the cafe determines the number of bar stools that’ll fit in the room.

It is only natural to want a cafe packed with bar stools, because why not? After all, more chairs mean more customers and more customers mean you’ll be going to the bank wearing a wide grin. 

However, too many bar stools in a cafe can create nuisance and discomfort. Imagine a scenario where a customer wants to get up from their seat and has no option but to disturb the nearest person.

So, what you should do is measure out your cafe table/counter and give around 60cm of space between each bar stool. That way, there will be easy movement and comfort for your customers. 

Material for Bar Stools. 

Another thing you should look out for is the material used to manufacture the bar stool. You should have an eye for durable but beautiful stools.

Timber is a good option that presents a magnanimous appearance and will look fantastic indoors. However, if you’re planning an outdoor setting, we would recommend using polypropylene bar stools as they are more suited for weather conditions.

To have back support or not?

Now, one common question that is considered among buyers is whether the bar stool should have back support or not. Well, I’ll say it all depends on personal preference. You can get both options for your cafe to give your customers choices. You can check out our online store for the best bar stools for your cafe.
