The lineup
In Soviet times, people had to be satisfied with simple wooden stools, which had a similar design and coloring. Today, with the development of production, people have the opportunity to choose. Modern furniture factories, along with traditional wooden chairs, offer other, more interesting models made of plastic, metal and even glass. Let's study in more details features of each kind:
- Kitchen wooden chairs . Classics of the genre. They are made of solid beech, oak, ash or walnut. Particleboard and MDF are used for manufacturing budget models. High-grade chairs made of wood have a high back and are covered with a dense fabric with a soft lining. These products are perfectly combined with massive wooden tables in the classical style.
- Metal kitchen chairs . Made of chrome-plated metal carcass. The seat and back are hammered by leatherette or other analog material. Such kitchen chairs on a metal carcass look quite simple and concise, that's why they are used for interior decoration in the style of techno and hi-tech .
- Glass kitchen chairs . In fact, they are made using plastic, remotely resembling glass. Transparent chairs are ideal for small rooms, as they add elegance and airiness to the interior.
- Wrought iron chairs . These works of art. Masters for hot forging manually give the metal intricate shapes, decorating it with spiral bends, flower buds and bunches of grapes. The classic color of these chairs is dark gray, black and brown, but if desired, they can be dyed in milk, white and golden colors.
- Bar stools . Can be made of wood, plastic or chrome-plated metal. There are also products from combined materials. They are used in kitchens with a high bar counter. These models have high legs and a small seating area, so it's hard to sit on them for a long time. For home use, chairs with a soft seat and a backrest are good.
- From rattan . The basis for such models is the elastic vine "rattan". It is strong enough, light and at the same time looks natural and original. Wicker chairs in combination with a similar table will look good in the interior in the style of country and classic. In addition, they stylishly complement the veranda of a country house.

Criterias of choice
Before purchasing a chair, you must always try it on yourself. To do this, sit down on a stool in the store. Assess whether your backrest position and height are comfortable for you. Ideally, your feet should be free to stand on the floor, and legs bend at right angles. The width and depth of the seat is important, especially in the case of a model with armrests. It should be 40-45 cm (this does not apply to bar stools).
If this chair is used by all family members, then it is better to choose a model with adjustable height. If desired, they can be adjusted by means of a lever-lever.
