Bottom Line

A well-made plastic stool that has a low back and contoured design for comfort.

Pros

Low back has a handle that makes it easy to move. Modern design. Comes in four colors. Made from a sturdy plastic. Regular seat height – not bar height. Rated for 250 lbs. of weight. Can be used outdoors.

    There's no better option for additional seating than stackable stools. They are lighter than chairs and take up less room, making them easy to store. Modern designs that utilize a wide range of materials and colors have made stack stools a fixture in many homes. If you will be using them at a bar or a counter, remember size is important. You'll need roughly 10” of clearance for legs, so make sure your measurements are precise. The best features to look for include back support, footrests, and straight stacking – diagonal stacking takes up much more room in storage. Durable stools that can handle a decent amount of weight are a good idea. For a patio or a deck, purchase stools designated for outdoor use.
