counter stools-wood or metal pros & cons
Comments (1)We have wood memory stools on laminate floors. The wood stools get dented where they meet the counter top (WilsonArt edging) when pushed in. I used to have felt under the feet, but it was too much effort to push in the stools. I have since installed nylon/plastic feet under the wood legs. These have nails in them to fix them in place (which I don't like) so we'll have to keep an eye and make sure that they don't come through the nylon, and gouge the laminate. When shopping for the stools, I didn't find the metal stools to be as comfortable; the lack of dense foam. Our friends also have metal, stools, and no thanks. I think if the stools are wood, then they may get damaged from the counter-top (and we're not particular hard on the furniture, but from time to time there are others in the house) And conversely, if the stools are metal, then the counter-top may become damaged (depending on the counter-top material), or the paint(?) covering the metal. I can't help you with the wood flooring, I have no experience with that, but the larger diameter the feet, the less the weight of the chair and occupant will effect the wood floor, me thinks. And, ... the type of wood on the floor....See MoreCL stools. - Add in with my existing stools?
Comments (19)Jant - Didn't even think about the DR chairs. Very good point. I don't care for the styles that close together. Someone will get some stools with potential for a good price! Necia - Thank you! I took some close up photos. The lady who made them sews for fun but never made anything like this before. When I got the remaining fabric back there were square pieces left over for around the bottom she pieced on. I asked her to make them as you see but if I could do it again it would be better if they somehow fit around the top of the stool. I cut out those rubber shelf liners for on the stools thinking it would help keep them in place. They're fine to sit on but when you get up they usually need adjusted. Since I don't really use them it doesn't bother me. I'm sure I can rig them somehow but I didn't get around to it. Maybe a big square of velcro. :) The stools are 24". Top is 12". I ordered the foam online from the place in the link below. Bought the 2" thick Lux Foam High Quality. The pleats are 5" long. The gold fabric is silk and she picked up that white piping stuff. She wasn't sure how to finish the piping but I think it looks fine how she did. I know they're not the norm but I do get a lot of compliments on them and I think they look nicer IRL. Hope this helps! *I see the pleats are a little wrinkled. .. Also please ignore the weights on the floor. It's a Christmas present that didn't make it in the door far! Val - We had some friends visit recently with young ones. We discovered is house is not kid proof in any way. lol I'll keep that in mind!

Comments (3)A bistro table with a marble top would work if you can find it in the right size. C&B has one, but the top is too small for your area....See MoreKitchen counter stools
Comments (3)Hello kayozzy, I've sent you the automated "thank you" via Houzz, but I wanted to send you a personalized thank you message. I hope you get it. I've been searching for these chairs for many months. I can't believe....just like that....you were able to send me to the appropriate website, and POOF! They're ordered, and should be here shortly. These chairs were the last "piece of the puzzle", as far as my kitchen goes. Everything is either ordered, sitting in my Library, or on it's way. Thank you sooooo very much, once again. It was extremely kind of you to take some time out of your day to answer my query. Best Regards, Linda...See MoreOlychick
