Commercial Bar Stools
Buying commercial bar stools can be risky if you don’t take the time to perform adequate due diligence. Residential bar stools are constructed in a different manner in comparison to commercial furniture. While residential stools cost less money, avoid the temptation to purchase residential furniture for commercial environments.
Commercial environments usually will require much greater demands due to the constant usage of the bar furniture. Part of the reason they commercial furniture will cost more is because of the choice of materials used in the construction of the bar stool.
Home bar stools are usually made with a lighter gauge steel material. Lighter gauge steel will not last very long in a commercial environment. There is also a safety factor associated with lighter weight steel bar stools as they have a greater risk of premature failure.
For example, residential chairs cannot use the same style weld on the steel. This is because the steel needs to be thicker to prevent the automated welding machines from burning holes in the steel tubs. This can be a very big issue as your chairs will be literally beaten around in a commercial bar or restaurant environment.
Customers in commercial environments will treat bar stools very different compared to your average home owner. Commercial stools will be dragged around, tipped, and have various foods and beverages being spilled on them. This is especially true if you are using the commercial bar stools in a sports bar type environment.
If you do not know what type of chair brand you want, you can also visit your local commercial furniture store. Feeling the bar stools in person will give you a much better idea of the quality compared to simply viewing them online.
By doing your homework in advance, you will be able to purchase commercial bar stools at a reasonable price point which are built to last.
