To Spin or Not to Spin

Choosing between a stationary chair or stool and the swivel style is both a matter of personal preference and purpose. For a pub height table that serves as a kitchen table or dining room table many choose to go with a stationary style pub height chair. The need to swivel in this semi formal or formal setting is limited.

When purchasing pub height chairs for a home bar, game room or game table often the swivel style pub height chair is more practical. The setting is more informal and fun, and conversation tends to be spread around the room and the main intention for these types of space is to relax.

Back or Backless?

Deciding on a if your new pub height chairs will have a backrest or not depends on what you will be using the chair for and what environment they will be used in. When considering a formal eating area or a kitchen eating area most lean toward having chairs with backs. The ability to sit back, relax a bit and digest a good mean lends itself towards this style.
Looking at a more informal setting such as a kitchen counter, game table or game room the backless style of pub height chair is more popular. Also, in rooms with very little space to spare a backless chair can be useful in gaining those precious few inches.

Bear Arms?

The decision between pub height chairs with arms or without will depend greatly on space and personal comfort. In tight spaces chairs with arms may not fit correctly or make the setting more uncomfortable than is necessary. Take a tight space and add arms to a swivel style pub height chair and you may have some bumping and banging going on!
Kitchen table and counter settings, as long as they are roomy enough, lend themselves towards chairs with arms. You and your guests may linger over a meal or conversation and the extra comfort that arm chairs provide can be a welcome addition. For space savings, such as at a home bar or at a corner table armless chairs and stools may be the way to go.

This decision is based mostly on the purpose of the pub height chairs and who will be using them. Do you have several young children who tend to drop their grape juice glass once a week? Maybe solid chair seats are the best idea for you. Are you buying chairs for an active home bar or home game room that tends to be the center of the home’s gathering place? Think solid seats.

More formal settings, or at least more controlled settings, can be great for nice upholstered chairs. There is also options that can be the best of post worlds. Look for stain and water/fluid resistant fabrics and materials that can hold up to wear and tear.
