Build Your Own Bar Stool (In An Afternoon)

Bar stools are as important as the best wine in your bar.
It is said that if you don't get a good stool to sit on, you won't enjoy the drink.
By a good seat it means that not only it should be comfortable it should be attractive too besides having other minor and major specifications.
Nowadays, there are lots and lots of options available, may be the number match to that of the number of the brands of beer available in the whole world.
But the irony is that not many match all the required specifications.
The options available in the material that we can use are metal, wood, bamboo, iron, etc.
The styles available are retro, swivel, whether it has back or not, different metal colors, different designer fabrics, whether it is meant for indoors or outdoors and so on and so forth.
We as the owner of our bar, we are the best judge of our bar and hence we are the only one who can decide, which is the best for ourselves.
At times we want to make our own bar stools to cater our need.
Here are some tips to make one yourself.
First of all you have to decide between the material and that in turn will also decide about the portability.
Obviously the wood ones offer easy portability.
Similarly if you think that children would be using that too often then bamboo ones would be better.
You might also want to consider wood ones in that case.
If you are an art lover and want to have some carvings and designs, then we would recommend you wood ones.
If your house is of ethnic style then it is the wrought iron that will suit your need the most.
Then we think the height is the most important that you should consider.
Although people have their own standards but it all depends on the height of the counter.
Remember that calculating wrong seat heights is one of the most important reasons why people are unsatisfied with their stools.
You should leave anywhere between 9 to 13 inches from the top of the seat to the counter.
The next is the style and color.
If you want to choose from the innumerable designs or you want to give stress on comfort or you want something to write on the back then the swivel is the best for you.
You can carve anything from the name of the basketball team you support to your wife's name.
The color-coding will depend on the amount of light available in the bar and the color of your walls although black can suit every background.
Now let us talk about blend.
The best among the blend is the wood and the metal.
In this category some people make a metal frame with a wooden seat.
In some others, the metal seat on the metal frame is carved and painted in such a way that it gives an impression of wooden seat, which means a durability of, wooden with a visual picture of wood.
