It is something that has happened to all of us at one time or another: we go to sit down on a comfortable, attractive bar stool and as soon as we sit, we attempt to swivel. The feeling of disappointment that sweeps over us when kitchen stools don't swivel is palpable, but if you are considering adding bar stools to your home, you should consider both the merits and the drawbacks to swiveling. You may realize that the decision isn't so easy to make, after all.
<br>
<br>The Benefits of the Swivel
<br>
<br>First, let's take a look at the pro-swivel side of the argument. Above all else, swiveling is fun. Even grown adults will often times swivel in a kitchen stool back and forth for no other reason than it is neat. Many people cite the ability to swivel as the primary reason behind owning a stool in the first place. Second, swiveling is good for communication, especially if you are purchasing your stools for entertainment reasons. If you are set to be the go-to home for the big game, the yearly holiday party and for birthdays, you want to have furniture that allows for easy communication and swiveling allows people to speak to more than one person without having to get up. Working hand in hand with the ability to communicate, swiveling allows for people to direct their attention in multiple directions at once. You can make eye contact with more than one person at once and easily command a room from a swiveling bar stool. If you are watching sports on more than one screen at once, the use of a swivelling kitchen stool is even more pronounced.

<br>The Drawbacks of the Swivel
<br>
<br>On the flip side, swiveling can sometimes get a bit out of control, especially if your stools are being used in the vicinity of alcohol. It is unknown how many people have been kicked in the thigh by kids and adults spinning around on bar stools, but the numbers are thought to be in the millions. If you have a home full of kids or adults who often act like kids, you may want to go with the stationary variety of bar stool. Along those same lines, kids can often abuse the swiveling action that comes with many of today's top kitchen stools. Not only can they increase the chance of injuring themselves but they can injure others, as well. Finally, excessive swiveling can wear down even the best made set of stools. The swivel action was made so that people could move a little bit at a time back and forth or all the way around. Swiveling bar stools aren't toys but if they are used as toys, they can break down or at least end up squeaking sooner than they should.
<br>
<br>As you can see, the choice between swiveling and non-swiveling is far more complicated than it may seem on the surface. Make sure you think about which type is right for you or you may end up regretting your decision.
