A chrome plated bar stool with a faux leather seat looks sophisticated and modern. Kick up the color in your kitchen with a brightly hued bar stool. A typical kitchen counter is 36 inches off the ground, so you would want a stool whose seat height is around 24 to 26 inches. Use seating without swivel in a dining room or bar area for instant function and appeal. Whatever your design scheme is, seating without swivel comes in a variety of looks to highlight your décor.
