Historically leather chairs were in the sole purview of the rich and famous or perhaps hidden away in private men's clubs, the types of clubs frequented politicians, doctors and powerful business men. Thankfully those days are gone. Nothing quite adds a splash of class quite like leather bar stools, and now these chairs are affordable to all.

Today leather bar stools are becoming more and more common. They can be found in very average commercial ventures and middle class homes. In many ways leather furniture makes a lot of sense. Not only are these bar stools comfortable but accidental spills can very often be taken care of with a damp cloth. Leather is also very durable which adds years to the lifespan of your bar stool. There are definitely more inexpensive leather bar stool made with inferior or B grade leather but bar stools made with Grade A or first quality leather can look good for years.
The bar stools currently available on the market are either the standard 30" which is bar height or the shorter 24" styles which are better suited for breakfast bars. The best choice for a family with children would be the shorter 24" stool. The height of the stool is determined by the height of the bar or table they are intended to match.
Leather bar stools come in every color of the rainbow. I have personally seen natural leather, dark tan, black, silver, green, white, brown and blue stools. Made to order bar stools can be developed in any color imaginable. The legs of these bar stool are generally stained a complimentary color. However they can also be painted. Stools with metal legs are also available but less common.
These stools also come in a natural colored leather sling version which has a bit of a tex-mex aura. You can find stools with backs and arms, stools with only backs and stools without backs at all. Stools with a cushioned seat are generally more comfortable than those without but you might find that they don't wear as well as the foam loses some of it's form. The stool you chose is all a matter of personal choice.
Did we mention that leather bar stools are easy to clean? With a moderate bit of care, these stools can serve your family for decades. If you see some wearing on the arms of the stool you might want to rub in some protective oil. Make sure you wipe off excess oil before anyone sits on the stool. To further protect your leather furniture you can spray on a leather protector when you first purchase the chairs and every six months thereafter. Leather furniture seems to look richer as it ages. Good quality leather bar stools are well worth the cost.
