The first step to replacing your bar stool swivel is to determine what type of bar stool swivel you will need. Servu-Online offers flat bar stool swivels and pitched bar stool swivels.

Provided the holes only vary by no more than ¼ inch, most bar stools will maintain their structural integrity once the new holes are drilled.

Once your new bar stool swivel is installed, your bar stool should be ready for use. However be sure to give your bar stool a careful inspection before putting it back into service. Be sure to inspect the bar stool for any loose joints, or any hardware that may have come loose or damaged by the installation of the new bar stool swivel.

You can’t scope out other bar patrons or the big game without grabbing a barstool. Investing in the right barstools for your restaurant creates an atmosphere that will lure customers and make them want to linger. Here are some important tips for purchasing the best barstools:

Take proper measurements. Size is a crucial to space planning and the interior design of your bar. Measure the height of your bar counter so that you don’t end up with barstools that are too high. Typically, barstools have a 30 inch seat height for a bar of average 45 to 48 inch height. Be sure to take any overhang into account. Give your customers space to spread out their legs or swivel the seat. Allow at least 25 inches of counter space for each barstool.

Consider your material options. Do you want a durable standard vinyl seat? Are you interested in the wide range of colors available for premium vinyl barstool seats? Perhaps wood is most appropriate?

Decide which features you are interested in adding. Barstools are quite versatile in their range of options. Some barstools provide the support of full backrests, others are open-backed or backless. Swivel seats are an option some customers enjoy. You may opt for a combination of features on your barstools, just make sure that your bar is uniform!
