This is an article about counter stools.
You may wonder why in the world anyone would ever write an article about counter stools, and honestly I have no answer for that.
But I might have some answers about stools, which in your case, is probably a good thing.
Counter stools, bar stools, swivel stools, pretty much all the same thing.
They all go under a counter, bar, or kitchen top area.
Your kids will beat them mercilessly against the counter probably damaging both the stool and the counter but as far as functionality is concerned you can't beat a stool like this.
There are ways to protect your stools and counters from getting too hammered, one idea is don't get them with backs and arm rests (but this drastically reduces comfort while sitting on them), or you can get locks so that the swivel mechanisms don't actually turn a full three hundred and sixty degrees.
Or you can just not have kids.
You decide.
As far as price is concerned, stools range from a couple hundred bucks to ones made out of elephant tusks which cost more than anyone should rightly pay.
And I mean anyone.
But if you are like most Americans out there you probably don't want to spend more than a couple hundred bucks and there are many choices out there for you.
Specifically search for inventory closeout sales, special seasonal discounts, or see if you can wash dishes or something to get them for cheaper.
Be sure to research your certain designs and embroideries and have a hey day.
