This may seem like a strange topic to write about but I think that it is important to address. I will be informing you on  the real dangers of the bar stools in your kitchen as well as some good dangers. I can not think of a better way to say ‘good dangers’ and I know it is an oxymoron but I will leave it like that any way.

As with most things, this post will be broken up into a few categories:

  • Backless
  • Wheels
  • Wanting More

Backless – This feature is not specific to kitchen bar stools and can be found on many different types. However, this feature and particular look can be dangerous. You can lean back and loose your balance and topple over. Not only that, if you were placing things on the bar stool because your kitchen bench was too full, they could fall off because there is nothing hold them on there. These are just two examples of this.

Wheels – You may think that having wheels on your bar stools are great. It makes it easier to move them around meaning they are very versatile and you can use them when you normally would not. But if you were to use them in the kitchen and you sat on them incorrectly, they could very easily slip out from underneath you. Depending on how high they are, this can mean that you can have a very bad fall. And after you have your fall, who knows where the bar stool has ended up. It could fly across the kitchen and knock something over. It makes things more dangerous in the kitchen because most kitchens have tile or lino flooring meaning wheels can really fly across it.

Wanting More – This is more of a danger to your pocket. Because there is such a large range out there, you end up choosing one that you think best suits your kitchen. However, you may be shopping for something completely different and a nicer, better suited bar stool design catches your eye. You may really want this now. Sometimes it’s just a one off stool that you just have to get. Danger to your wallet.

After reading all of that I am certain now that you have understood what I was initially trying to say. There are some things that you need to be careful of in the kitchen and specifically with bar stools. As long as you are aware of these dangers then you are well equipped and informed to prevent and avoid any thing bad that may happen.
