Counter Stool Materials

The distinctive benefits of wood, metal, rattan wicker, and leather Do you love the smell and touch of leather? Have you always wanted to recreate the look of a classic diner - complete with those bright vinyl colors and counter stools of gleaming chrome? Whatever your decor ideal may be, these are the counter stool materials that can help you achieve it. Wood Wood tends to be associated with more formal seating and traditional decorating styles, but wood counter stools are actually much more versatile than that. For example, backless saddle seat stools and their elongated, concave seats are simple, comfortable, and unpretentious, and can be used virtually anywhere in the home.

Our wood counter stool section also features stools upholstered in leather, microfiber, vinyl and other materials that transcend the usual traditional/transitional dichotomy to which wood is too often mistakenly confined.

Metal

If you have eclectic tastes, you'll love our metal counter stool section. Mixed in amongst the contemporary stools and their luxurious materials like wrought iron and leather are some arrestingly idiosyncratic designs. Retro-modern Calligaris stools, for example, will pretty much usurp your eyeballs if you're into sleek lines and shiny chrome.

Here at JustCounterStools.com you can also find more traditional styles of metal counter stools, with graceful details such as antiqued finishes, elegant scrollwork, and intricate Victorian detailing.

Wicker & Rattan

Decorators who dislike metal and find wood a little too formal shouldn't overlook some of the other natural counter stool materials that are available - in this case, wicker or rattan. Rattan is a wickerwork material derived from the tough, slender stems of tropical palms. Unlike bamboo, rattan stems are solid rather than hollow. Rattan counter stools are thus very resilient and durable, with a casual air of laidback luxury that suggests an afternoon spent in tropical climes. Our wicker counter stools are a popular choice for patios and home bars.

Leather

Decorators who enjoy the interaction of textures or just the inimitable sophistication of leather will find their ideal furnishings in our leather counter stool section. These upholstered counter stools combine elegance and comfort for the ultimate in stay-at-home leisure. And because leather matures and softens as it ages, a leather counter stool will grow even more comfortable with time.

We also carry a large selection of beautiful faux leather counter height stools for shoppers who prefer not to decorate with animal-derived materials.
