10 Best Bar Stools in the UK 2024 | Homcom, John Lewis and More

Whether for your family in the kitchen or the customers in your restaurant, the upholstered seats on these stools will bring supreme comfort to anyone that pulls one up. The four metal legs are also arranged in an X shape to support its weight equally, so you won't have to worry about your kids or clientele accidentally knocking it over. 

With a subtle net design on the PU leather and simple, black metal legs, this stool will blend into any given environment perfectly. That's why we think this is the best stool on the market! 

We love how this product has two different footrest heights, so anyone from adults to kids will be able to sit comfortably! It might be less fancy than other items on this list, but if you're looking for some simple, wooden furniture, we think this set could be perfect. 

Arriving at your door fully assembled, you don't even have to go digging around for your long-lost toolbox. It also has the lightest weight of 4.2 kg, so really anyone could move this stool around without having to worry about any back injuries. 

Nothing beats an ergonomic seat as you know you'll be able to give your full concentration to your work for hours. The breathable linen padding makes it even more comfortable to sit on, and you won't have to worry about leaving sweat patches!

Woltu is a famous German brand that specialise in furniture, and though this quirky print will add a splash of colour, there are several other designs to choose from including plain grey and black. Considering the quality, these stools are very reasonably priced.  

This product might have caught your attention if you're into old-school pub-style furniture. While the eco-friendly brown artificial leather seat adds a warm and welcoming atmosphere to your kitchen, the black iron frame can support as much as 90 kg. 

The seat is padded with high-density sponge so you'll be able to sit comfortably on this stool for as long as you wish. A great combination of personality and comfort, this is the stool you have been looking for if you're after something with a retro vibe. 

Aside from the soft beige colour and wooden frame which make these stools look extra homely, they also boast a 6cm padded seat so you'll almost feel like you're sitting on a sofa. Not to mention the cosy back and armrests which make them very hard to get up from once you're settled in! 

If you didn't know already, Homcom specialise in wooden furniture including rocking horses for young children, so you know you'll be guaranteed a great quality set of stools. Though upholstered in a classy linen, they are also flame-resistant so they're very safe for kitchen use.

These stools might look rather simple and plain, but that's exactly what makes them perfect for your bistro-style cafe or restaurant. Being entirely made from metal, you can easily clean them and they will stand strong in your workplace for years. 

Weighing only 5.4 kg, your staff will be able to move these stools around easily without hurting themselves. However, without a padded seat, your customers might leave with a slightly sore bottom after taking their time at brunch.  

If you ever need a pair of affordable stools for your breakfast bar, this is the product. Regardless of the style or design of your kitchen, the white PU leather of this set will match it – the colour just goes with everything!

This pair would be great for enjoying quick breakfasts at your kitchen island or bar, but since the backrest barely gives any support they may not be the best pick if you plan to work or eat all your meals at the same counter. 

With their rustic piped legs, these vintage-looking stools have a unique design which will instantly catch the attention of your guests. And thanks to a footrest circulating the entire stool, you'll be able to rest your feet comfortably whilst facing any direction.

The adjustable height ensures anyone can make themselves comfortable on the stool, but you'll have to screw or unscrew the seat to do so. If you don't mind doing that, we think these retro faux-leather stools will look lovely wherever you use them. 

A slim and chic-looking stool painted in a classy shade of dark grey, both the style and colour will suit any stylish kitchen. And with the fixed padded seat, you'll be able to enjoy a glass or two of wine at home with your guests in complete comfort. 

As the least affordable stools which also require self-assembly, some might find this product to be slightly pricey. But if you're fond of contemporary furniture and you're looking for quality, you shouldn't miss this sleek pair.  

Want to add some excitement to an ordinary-looking kitchen? This pair of grey stools with a contemporary design will definitely add some personality without being overbearing. You don't even have to own a breakfast bar, just adjust them to the height of your kitchen counter and off you go!

We'd like to point out that these stools weigh around 18 kg each, which is fine for home use but not really for a commercial environment. Minimising the movement of them at home will also reduce the risk of any unwanted injuries.
