Where to buy an adjustable stool

The stool has a long history but one basic definition is "a seat with no back or arms intended for one person." This piece of furniture was the standard seating for many - only those of upper rank got stools with backs. To begin with, the stool had three legs that were splayed. X-shaped stools were popular in Roman times and could be folded. Next came the four legs and varied heights such as quite tall to those meant for feet. The adjustable stool is one of the original stool's more modern relatives.

Buy at furniture stores

Furniture stores carry a range of adjustable stools, such as those with swivel tops or even taller ones used for sitting at bars or kitchen counters. The stools for sale will vary in price as well as quality. Plainer swivel stools will cost less than padded ones for sitting at a bar or breakfast. It is a good idea to test the stools beforehand to judge whether they will feel comfortable when sat upon for any length of time, as well as whether their construction will withstand daily use
(especially important for houses with young children).

Buy at restaurant equipment stores

Adjustable stools can be found at stores that supply furniture for restaurants and bars. These adjustable stools will very likely be of heavier-duty construction than those found at regular furniture stores. These stools could very likely be more expensive as well. It is possible to buy these stools at a discount, such as stores which specialise in selling used restaurant and bar furniture. Before buying these stools, inspect them first to judge their condition. While some of the stools will have been reconditioned, others may require some work.

Buy at medical supply stores

Adjustable stools can be sold at medical supply stores. These may cater to hospitals or home health use. Adjustable stools can be used as shower stools, thus allowing elderly or physically impaired people to take advantage of their showers while sitting down. Shower stools are available at online retailers or brick and mortar ones. The shower stools usually have hard plastic seats and four legs - each of which are adjustable to the height that is required. Rubber feet help make these stools slip-proof on the wet surface of the shower.
