Saddle Stools To Choose From
There are a wide variety of different saddle stool options available for those interested in this type of seating. A saddle stool is usually a stool with a curved rather than a flat seat so that the stool will be more comfortable. These types of stools are commonly used in bars. One of the first things you need to decide when you are choosing a saddle stool is the height you would like the stool to be. These stools commonly come in 18", 24", and 29" sizes. Depending on where they will be used and what they will be used for, some heights might be more useful than others. If you are getting these to use for bar stools and have a high bar, the taller options would be more suitable. If these are for use at a lower table or for general seating the shorter options might be better. Once you have determined the height you would like for your saddle stool, you need to determine what material you would like your stool made out of. There are many saddle stool options made out of wood, as well as saddle stools made out of metal with padded saddle seating. The metal saddle stools sometimes have more features, as some have wheels on the ends of the legs, and some of these are adjustable in height as well. These chairs are much more versatile than the wooden options. The wooden options also have much less of a saddle look to them. They usually just have a slight curve to the seat of the stool, while the metal and plastic options tend to have more of a saddle look to the seat, with more of a triangular shape and three upraised points on the edges rather than the rectangular shape of the wooden stools. A wooden studded saddle stool will most likely be the least expensive option, with prices starting out around $40 or $50. Some of the metal Saddle Stool options with cushions are made to be ergonomically correct and can go over $300 in price, though there are options for less than $100. Those looking for a simple inexpensive bar stool would probably be happy with one of the options for a wooden saddle stool, but those who will be sitting in these stools for more extended periods of time might prefer the options that have padded seats and adjustable heights so that they can get the most comfortable option for them. |
