Buy a Timber Stool for That Vintage Retro Look

There’s something about a timber stool that makes it the ideal choice for a vintage retro look that’s sought by those who love industrial design. Our timber bar stools bring a sense of industrialism to your café or bar and as well as looking the part, they’re strong and durable too.

Our timber stools are manufactured to a commercial grade which means they’re able to withstand all the daily rigours of the busiest establishment. Wherever possible the timber has been reliably sourced, and this is indicated by the Forestry Commission sign that you’ll find accompanying the image on our website.

Some of our best-selling timber stools include our cross-back stools which take their inspiration from Bentwood, the Detroit stool which is a replica of the Turner Industrial drafting stool, and our replica Tolix stools which are a copy of the iconic Tolix stool designed by Xavier Pauchard in the 1930s. Whatever type of timber stool you’re seeking we so many gorgeous designs, you’re sure to find just what you like at Café Solutions.

What height of stool do I need?

This is a question that frequently pops up. Our bar stools are available to purchase in 3 heights, 46 cm, 66 cm, and 76cm. As a rule of thumb, our small stools (46cm) are suitable for use with standard café tables. Our medium stools (66cm) can usually be found lined up beneath a counter, and our tall stools (76cm) are for use with dry bar or poseur tables. Depending on the brand, sizes do vary, so it’s always a good idea to measure the space between the underside of your table or counter and the floor.

Timber stools add a feeling of warmth to any space and can be used with tables of all heights, counters and bars. We particularly like to see stools used around communal dining tables. Not only do they make the space appear airier, but they lend that casual dining experience which is what everyone eating together is all about.

If your space is limited then you might want to consider a style of timber stool which can be stacked. These are ideal for your busiest times and can be brought out from a corridor or cupboard and used to seat additional customers.

Why not check out our timber stools in our online store or, even better, pay us a visit at one of our showrooms based in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. Our knowledgeable staff are always happy to offer advice and give you any further information you require about any of our products.
