Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Northern Dram," a bustling whiskey bar in the heart of Leeds, needed to replace its worn-out wooden stools with something more in line with its industrial-chic interior. They needed seating that was both stylish and  exceptionally durable to handle their busy evening service.

"We were after stools that looked the part but could survive the weekend crowds. The Borrello stools are fantastic – they're rock-solid, a breeze to wipe down at the end of a long night, and  our patrons constantly comment on how great they look."

David Evans – Owner, The Northern Dram

The upgrade resulted in a more cohesive aesthetic and  staff reported that end-of-night cleaning times for the seating areas were reduced by 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • These stools arrive fully assembled and  ready to use straight out of the box.
  • Before placing them, give the protective feet a quick check to ensure they're secure.
  • Position them at your bar or high tables, leaving enough space for customers to get on and  off comfortably.
  • The classic design of these stackable tolix style stools allows for neat storage when not in use.

Keeping It Going

  • For daily cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth.
  • For sticky spills or tougher marks, use a mild detergent and  warm water.
  • Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the finish over time.
  • Periodically check that the non-slip feet are intact to continue protecting your floors.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bar Stool

Not sure what fits best for your venue? Choosing the right commercial seating is crucial. Here are a few quick tips to help you decide.

Measure Your Counter Height

The golden rule! Ensure there's about 25-30cm between the seat and  the underside of your bar or counter for comfortable legroom.

Consider Comfort & Dwell Time

Will customers be staying for a quick coffee or a three-course meal? Backrests and  footrests, like on this model, significantly boost comfort for longer stays.

Material and  Maintenance

Metal is durable and  easy to clean. Wood offers warmth but can dent. Upholstery is comfy but stains easily. Choose the material that best suits your business's pace.

Think About Your Spacing

Consider the footprint of the stool. Backless stools can tuck away neatly, while stools with wider bases need more floor space but can be more stable.

Match Your Brand's Vibe

Your furniture is a key part of your brand's story. An industrial stool suits a modern, urban aesthetic, while a wooden one might fit a rustic country pub better.

Why a Powder-Coated Metal Finish is a Business's Best Friend

You often see 'metal construction' and  nod, but the finish is what makes all the difference in a commercial setting. These stools feature a powder-coated gunmetal finish, which is far more than just a lick of paint. Think of it like armour for your furniture. A fine, dry powder is applied to the metal and then baked in an oven. This process melts the powder into a smooth, solid, and  incredibly resilient shell that's bonded directly to the surface.

Unlike standard paint which can easily chip, scratch, or peel when knocked by bags, buckles, or cleaning equipment, a powder coat is much tougher. It resists scuffs, moisture, and  fading, ensuring your industrial bar stools gunmetal look fresh and  professional for much, much longer. It's the secret to furniture that shrugs off the daily chaos of a busy venue.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Urban Cafés & Coffee Shops

    Ideal for creating a trendy, industrial aesthetic that’s durable enough for high customer turnover.
