Aluminum Bar Stools

Aluminum outdoor bar stools for the patio

Aluminum outdoor bar stools are light enough to move with one hand and do not rust the way steel can. Frames come in gray, black, silver and bronze, many of them powder coated, and some carry a teak finish, a wood grain finish or a bamboo print that gives the look of wood without the upkeep. They are built for mild weather, so cover or store them through heavy storms and long wet spells.

Aluminum bar stool heights: counter or bar

Choose an aluminum bar stool by the height of the surface it pulls up to. The counter sets are sized for counters 35 to 38 inches high. Bar-height stools have seats from 29.3 to 31 inches and stand 41.7 to 48.8 inches overall, made for a 40 to 42 inch bar or high-top table.

Aluminum bar stools with backs, or backless

Aluminum bar stools with backs suit long evenings: woven rope or rattan backs with low armrests, sling textilene backs and curved backrests with a footrest. For a clean line under the counter, the black and teal blue French cafe pairs are backless and tuck fully out of the way when not in use.

Swivel aluminum bar stools and cushions

Swivel aluminum bar stools turn a full 360 degrees: the bronze stool with scrolled arms and the black pair with Sunbrella cushions. Elsewhere, cushions are optional. Sling, mesh and resin wicker seats need no cushion at all, while the woven-back counter stools and black bar stools come with foam cushions under water-resistant or fade-resistant covers. Bring cushions in when they are not in use, and rinse the frames with mild soap and water.
