Cheap vs Quality

You can buy imported, mass produced, cheap, uncomfortable bar stools anywhere as low as $25 each. The mega-marts, mega-home improvement stores, major online stores- they all compete to sell you the cheapest bar stool at the cheapest price with free shipping and no sales tax.That’s their specialty and we simply can’t and don’t want to compete for the “best of the cheapest.”

Our specialty is quality, comfort and customization. Our bar stools are built to order by manufacturers that specialize in attention to detail and building products that are comfortable, durable and stylish.

Our business model is not about competing to sell the cheapest product at the lowest price. If price is your only concern, we start at $125. If you’re looking for less expensive, we simply don’t deal with bolt-together imported, mass produced bar stools.

Our target customer is the person who cares about comfort, quality, style and having something unique that matches their decor.

You wouldn’t put plastic hub caps on a brand new Mercedes, yet people will spend $50,000 on a kitchen remodel and put $29 bar stools in front of a $9,000 marble countertop!

This doesn’t mean that our furniture is necessarily expensive. As of the time of this blog our entry level customizable is only $136 for a backless bar stool in your choice of cover, metal finish and height with a TEN YEAR frame and swivel warranty. Our least expensive swivel bar stool with a back in your choice of frame and finish is $240. These are all-welded, powder-coated bar stools with commercial quality construction that will give you years of comfortable use.
