Restaurant stools are made for public or semi-public environments, necessitating both good design for appearance and durability for long-term use and frequent cleaning. Stools are made for comfort, versatility, and functionality, and are often light in weight for easy movement, yet solid and resistant to wear and tear.
A traditionally simple furniture type, designers today are conceiving new approaches to the archetypal stool. Though stools in appearance range from thin to massive, and simple to complex, the aesthetic common to commercial stool products is one of harmony and symmetry. Manufacturers offer stools with three, four, or five legs, as well as those with seats perched atop a single vertical bar set on a wide base. Many stool products include a partial or full backrest, as well as footrests. Seats are round or square, and flat or concave, to accommodate users of all heights and shapes.
Stools are often flexible in that they provide height adjustment or rotational movement. Many product series consist of stools with various height options, to serve both low and high tabletops, counters, and bars. Some products are applicable for both interior and exterior use. Stools are produced in materials as diverse as solid wood, curved plywood, upholstered polyester fabric, sustainable PET felt, high-strength and stainless steels, or nautical canvases and woven ropes. The stools listed below are among the most popular on the market:
