Choosing an Outdoor Bar Stool
Add seating to your patio with an outdoor bar stool. They come in an array of materials and styles, so it's easy to find one or more that complements your space. Place two or more at your outdoor bar or table to create a comfortable space for entertaining.
Outdoor Bar Stool Features
Outdoor stools are designed to withstand the elements, although it's a good idea to use a furniture cover overnight. When it comes to materials and designs, you'll find wood, metal, wicker and synthetic wicker. There are stools crafted from wood that's Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) certified -- meaning it's sustainably and responsibly sourced.
One option is the Indio FSC® Eucalyptus Bar Stool. The wood is kiln-dried to prevent warping and splitting and is finished in a weathered gray hue to complement any outdoor decor. A similar stool is the Abbot FSC® Acacia Bar Stool. It's made from kiln-dried acacia with a hand-applied stain, and it has a gently curved seat for comfort.
If you prefer a metal bar stool for your patio, there's the Darley Bar and Counter Stool. It has a weather-resistant aluminum frame and polypropylene seat, so it's durable and lightweight. Another metal stool is the Hardy style, which has a black powder coat finish and a sturdy mesh seat.
For a breezy look, consider the Annette Woven Swivel Bar Stool. It has an iron frame with a handwoven seat that's finished in natural rope or olive rope. The Linus All-Wicker stool is another option that's ideal for creating a Parisian-themed patio -- place two at a bistro table for an elegant dining area.
Other Patio Furnishings
There are bar-height tables and outdoor kitchen islands you can use with an outdoor bar stool. They come in many of the same styles and materials as the stools -- there are teak tables and those made with acacia and eucalyptus. You'll also find an excellent selection of outdoor rugs, along with lighting to illuminate your patio after dark. Shop the selection to find the furniture and accent items you need for a well-equipped outdoor space.
