Backless counter stools remain popular for their low profile and range of style choices. Classics include casual and traditional looks in steel and wood that are timelessly charming as well as dignified. Go contemporary with adjustable lifts or fill a diner or home space with vinyl and chromed retro models. Too often, people buy "bar stools" - and then, their legs will not fit under the counter. Wood frames with saddle styling or upholstered seats can add accent to traditional or modern settings as well.
