It is a great way to have a stylish and stunning design without compromising form and function. And while there are a lot of bar stools readily available in the market, homeowners can also opt to have ones custom-made – bar stools that complement the look and feel of their home, such as a blend of retro and modern designs.

Some bar stools’ height can even be adjusted by making use of a gas lift mechanism.
Aside from the bar stool’s legs, another important matter in its design is the seat. Today, one of the most important things to consider in designing furniture seating is ergonomics – the science of comfort and plays a major role in furniture design.
