Discount Bar Stools: Alternative Uses for Cheap Bar Stools and Discount Chairs
Custom Search
We've all been tempted by the discount bar stools available at most large department discount stores. Unfortunately, they're notoriously cheap and just not that comfortable, meaning they often wind up in the garbage instead of in use.
If you're looking for ideas on what to do with your bar stools, whether collapsible or not, keep reading.
Flower Stand
If your bar stool has a flat top, rather than a padded vinyl top, it can make the perfect plant stand. For a great DIY project, simply buy a few cheap bar stools and refurbish them to create a floating, tiered plant oasis.
Start by cutting each stool down to a different length, taking care that all the legs are even and level. Then start stripping, sanding and painting each one to match your design idea. Once they're ready, you'll have a tiered atrium and all for less than $10 a stool.
You can go all out with your bar stool customization and even make a mosaic tile top or a decoupage covering. Go a step further and opt for a glitter design sealed forever with a resin coating.
Bedside Table
It may scream “dorm room décor,” but discount bar stools make a great bedside table. Dress it up with a fabric throw or tablecloth and presto – you've got a compact table that matches your bedroom décor. The vinyl-topped models may be too unsteady for drinks, but should be fine for holding a bedside lamp and a few books.
For the really crafty, try picking up a cheapie bar stool at your local discount store and then reupholstering it with your own fabric. You'll take that discount vinyl stool and turn it into a masterpiece with leopard-print fun fur or a prettily printed floral pattern.
Camping Chairs
Folding lawn chairs are cumbersome and often overkill as they take up way more space than what's needed. Meanwhile, a folding and lightweight bar stool can be easily tucked in the car.
Whether you're going to your kid's soccer game, to watch fireworks down by the lake or spending a few days in the great outdoors, a portable stool is sure to come in handy.
Guest Seating
The most obvious use for portable and foldable bar stools are as extra seating for guests. Whether it's a large family gathering, a small event or a games' night, extra seating can come in handy.
However, why take up all your valuable storage space with cumbersome plastic chairs? Instead, find some folding discount bar stools and either hang them on the wall or stack them in your basement.
