I finally (hopefully) found bar stools. I've been keeping my eyes out for weeks knowing that the day would come that the kitchen would be ready, but we wouldn't have anywhere to sit at the new bar.
I've looked online at various stores. You know the norm, Pottery Barn, Ethan Allen, Arhaus etc. Though I have found some that I have liked (namely at Arhaus), I didn't want to take out a second mortgage for stools.
Surprisingly, I've had good luck with online items at Target. I once bought a pleather ottomon from there that looks just like Pottery Barns, if not better. I paid only $200 for it, and three years later still looks great. Anywho, I digress. I also checked out Craigslist, and surprise, surprise, people wanted way too much for their way out of date items.
So, I headed over to Target.com and found this:
It has great reviews. I like it, the man likes it. Price wasn't great, but I got free shipping. I ordered the taller 30" for $169 a piece. I could have kept looking for something I liked for cheaper, but in the end I would have spent hours and hours to save a little. I thought my time was a little more valuable.
