Metal bar stools offer a number of decor and use options that wood and other materials do not. Modern and vintage home decors are best complemented by the sleek or retro look of metal bar stools, for example. Durability, light weight, and corrosion resistance are some of the other benefits provided by aluminum, stainless steel, and pewter bar stools (for wrought iron, see our separate article on wrought iron bar stools).
Aluminum, pewter, and stainless steel bar stools
- Aluminum Bar Stools
Aluminum is an excellent design material because of its combination of light weight, strength, and durability. Aluminum bar stools tend to feature very simple, clean lines and a more lustrous visual texture. Aluminum bar stools are also rust-resistant and low maintenance.
Because of their lightness and uncomplicated designs, aluminum bar stools are an excellent choice for rooms or leisure areas where function and flexibility matter. An aluminum bar stool will be easier to move than a stainless steel one, and its look is casual and unpretentious.
- Pewter Bar Stools
Pewter is an intriguing choice for metal bar stools. It's softer and more workable than steel or aluminum, and can look very striking when used in combination with a wooden seat or seat back. The color of pewter bar stools is a subtle and sometimes dark gray. Because of the metal's softness, pewter bar stools are more prone to scratching and denting. Use pewter bar stools in a more decorative and stationary environment.
- Stainless Steel Bar Stools
Stainless steel bar stools offer the advantages of excellent corrosion resistance and a variety of design options. Sports bar stools and retro stools are frequently made from stainless steel (the latter often make use of a mirrored chrome finish). Stainless steel bar stools are low maintenance and very strong, and an excellent choice for high use leisure areas both indoors and out. |  |
