Characteristics of Diner Bar Stools

Diner bar stools are designed to fit over a countertop and provide seating for patrons at a diner. These stools have been around since the 1950s and were originally designed to be placed in front of diners' tables. Today they are still popular and are commonly seen in retro themed locations and commonly have certain common aspects:

  • Unique types of vinyl - Durable and long-lasting, vinyl is often used in furniture, and home decor. There are many different styles of vinyl and each style provides its own unique look. For the classic diner look we provide special vinyl choices that are made especially to evoke that unique diner look.
  • Chrome-plated metal frames - A thin layer of chrome applied to steel creates a shiny surface that resists corrosion and tarnishing. The chrome plated metal frame are an integral part of the retro diner look.
