Metal bar stools
These stools usually have a metal frame, such as steel, iron or aluminum, and can be combined with different seat materials, such as wood, plastic or leather. You have metal bar stools with a backrest but also without a backrest. Metal bar stools give a cool, modern look to your interior.
Wooden bar stools
Wooden bar stools can have a rustic or natural look and are available in different types of wood such as oak, beech, teak and walnut. Wooden bar stools often have a seat without a backrest.
