If you have a bar counter in your kitchen, you know that they are a great place to add extra seating in the form of barstools. We currently have two old black ones that were basically the cheapest we could find at the time. Sure, they’re still in decent condition, if you don’t mind a wobble or two when you’re sitting down and getting back up. My problem is that my daughter thinks they are a ride at an amusement park, and she gets a kick out of spinning the stools, even when they are empty. So when we move into our own place, we’ll probably put our current stools in the yard sale pile and upgrade to something more stylish with no spinning parts.
I love these bamboo bar stools from Viva Terra. They are just 30″ tall, and they have a simple, sleek profile that would be great in my idea of a dream kitchen, which would feature dark wood cabinets with no molding and modern chrome or brushed nickel hardware. There are also no moving parts, which is great, but I’d almost be switching one problem for another. I’m not sure how mini me would handle bar stools with no back rest. I choose to make lemons from this lemonade: They would give me an opportunity to teach her about proper posture.
And why are they the Green Steal of the Week? Because for $149, you get a set of 2 stools. Sounds like a great deal to me.
Why It’s Green:
- Made of bamboo
Price: $149 for a set of 2 30″ stools
