When you think of bar stools what do you think? Barstools may be is a humble product in hotel FF&E , but it plays a vital role in the absence of your guests when they live in your hotel .
A place to perch while you wait to be seated for a meal? Somewhere you sit when the chairs have been taken? You wouldn't be alone. Bar stools have a reputation of being uncomfortable.
Below is our guide on what to consider when choosing bar stools for your hotel, bar or restaurant.
Arguably the most important consideration when choosing any kind of contract seating is comfort. After all, no one wants an uncomfortable customer.
Can a bar stool really be comfortable though? Of course it can!
Firstly, the question you need to ask is where the bar stools will be and what they will be used for. Will they be placed at a bar that is designed for short periods of sitting when customers are waiting to be seated for a meal?
Or perhaps at a cocktail bar that encourages sitting for longer periods while enjoying a few drinks and watching the mixologist create the latest blends? They could even be accompanied by a tall dining table where customers could sit and enjoy a bar snack.
Consider how long you wish the customer to remain in designated areas. For example, if you placed bar stools in a waiting area, ideally you would not want to encourage customers to settle in for the evening, but only perch for a short while.
Bar stools are versatile additions to many areas of your hotel, not exclusively to bars. A dining area with different levels creates a vibrant setting. Bar stools could be featured in a reception area as a place for guests to rest while checking in. Or, traditionally, they are at home along the bar and around poseur tables. Wherever a bar stool is featured it needs to be functional.
Once you have decided what function your bar stools will have then you can start to look at the specifics, beginning with the height of the bar top or table that the bar stool will be coupled with.
It is advised that there should be 30cm of space between the seat height and table top for the guest to sit comfortably. This is of the utmost importance to check if you are purchasing bar stools to complement existing tables, in particular for dining tables.
