You may be interested in knowing that bar stools started out as space savers in bars or public houses, as they were called in days of yore.

Some of the designs are true works of art in terms of creativity and style.
As with most things in life there are the advantages and disadvantages to be considered, especially when you make an expensive investment. Some of the advantages to having backless counter or bar stools instead of regular chairs would be:
-
Most people tend to eat in the kitchen rather than in a separate dining room; in this regard the stools will be a great space saver because of their slim shape, and also because you can push them under the counter when you are done – less clutter that way.
-
Another advantage to backless counter stools is the weight; they are far lighter than your average chair and also lighter than the bar stools with backs. So if you plan to move them around, you will do well to keep this in mind.
-
If you have a sudden influx of visitors and are short on seating space, your backless bar stools will fit the bill very well. The advantage here is that moving them around is a piece of cake.
-
Backless bar stools tend to be less expensive than the ones with backs.
On the disadvantages side, some people would state that backless counter stools make for uncomfortable seating over long periods of time, because we have grown used to leaning back in our chairs. Backless bar stools can also be extremely plain looking; it’s the ones with backs that tend to be more elegant in design and aesthetics.
