Kitchen Bar Stools : Back Rest or Backless Stool?
A popular stumbling block when choosing a kitchen bar stool is whether to go for one with a back rest or a backless bar stool. While a lot of people like having a kitchen counter bar stool with a back rest for support, they often don’t like the idea of the bar stool’s back rest being visible above the height of the counter top.
Below I have listed a series of benefits and considerations that you should take in to account before purchasing your kitchen bar stools, as it is often easy to overlook things when you are going through the buying situation.
Kitchen Bar Stool with Back Rest
The Grayson Bar Stool
Pros
- Good lumbar support, when sitting in the same place for a while your body can often slump, with a back rest it can take off some of the stress on the back.
- The stool feels more secure as you have a supporting surface at the back.
Cons
- The back rest may be seen above the height of the counter top. Dependent on the height of the back rest will depend on how much will be visible above your kitchen counter top, this is a purely aesthetic issue but should be taken into account.
- Kitchen bar stools with a backrest cannot be tucked under your counter or table completely. So the stools will be visible and take up slightly more floor space.
Backless Bar Stool
The Ciro Bar Stool
Pros
- No visible backrest above the height of the counter top so you have nothing to break up the simple straight lines of the counter top.
- Kitchen bar stools can be tucked under the counter or table which allows the bar stools to take up less floor space and keep them away until needed.
Cons
- No back support, so people will probably be leaning and resting on the surface in front of them.
- Easer to fall off if you have had one to many drinks!
Kitchen Bar Stool with a Small Back Rest
The Coralea Bar Stool
Pros
- Some Lumbar support for the lower spine which provides some support for the lower back.
- The stool feels more secure as you have a supporting surface at the back.
- A small back rest is not so visible above the height of the counter top.
Cons
- Could be uncomfortable after a long period of time
- Does not offer complete support for your back
