Bar Stool in Wood with Arms, Padded Back

In bistros, family restaurants, and cafes, the Bar Stool in Wood with Arms, Padded Back takes its place as one part of a room that has to work every night. Keep it to the rooms indoors. The frame is built of wood. Pick fabric, vinyl, or wood for the seat to suit each room. The listing also gives a rating to carry 500 lb, 32 lb for staff to lift and move, an arm at each side, and padding for the guest's back. Take 17" W x 20" D x 43 3/4" H into the room plan before you place the next piece.

On the order form you settle wood finish from 8 choices, among them Walnut, Dark Walnut, and Mahogany, back type, picked from Padded Vinyl or Padded Fabric, and seat type, picked from Wood Seat, Padded Vinyl Seat, or Padded Fabric Seat. Further fields appear as you make each choice. Space stools about 24 to 30 inches apart, center to center, which puts four to five guests along a 10-foot run of bar. Regulars settle in at the bar, so give them that room.

Add this version to the venue plan for the right room, then copy the plan when a second location opens. This piece has a listed minimum of 15. Choosing upholstery adds to the lead time, since those pieces are made to your selections. Upkeep belongs to the closing routine. At the end of the night, vinyl wants a soft cloth, mild soap, and a dry wipe, never bleach or solvent. Run a vacuum over fabric seats each week and treat spills right away, following the cleaning code.
