You must have loved the look of leather stools, or maybe you’ve decorated and planned your entire bar area and the stools are the last thing to buy and you think leather is the only way to go for them. Whatever your reason for wanting them, shopping for leather stools can be a bit intimidating. It is not always easy to tell if leather is genuine, and all of those options can be horrible to choose from. However, there are a few great tips to keep in mind while shopping to make sure you get the leather stools you want are yours and your shopping experience positive.

Go through the verious options for your leather bar stools. Think about the height you want, industry standard is 10 to 12 inch gap between seat height and top of your counter, also if you want a back, and whether you want the back to be high or low. Consider whether you want dark or light color leather and if you want to buy new or used leather stools. Also think about the décor of your room and whether you want stools that stand out or blend in with it. Try making and keeping a list of the different features you want so you can find exactly those when you shop.

Reputable stool sellers will always be able to guarantee the authenticity of the leather on their stools. If your dealer cannot guarantee this to you, either don’t buy it or bring along someone you know who can tell real from faux leather – this is important, because many sellers charge real leather prices for faux leather stools, and no one wants to be taken advantage of. If you are shopping for used leather stools, make sure you look them over in good lighting for any cracks, tears or worn places – repairing leather is expensive!

Shop around to several different places, both online and in ARTeFAC store, to make sure you’re getting a good (or at least a fair) price on your leather stools. Local shops may raise prices to take advantage of their monopoly on local leather stools. Try shopping online. Often you can even find beautiful and guaranteed genuine leather stools with free shipping if you are buying 6 or more.
