Stools for Stooges
Would someone PLEASE explain the kitchen counter stool obession?
Every single advertisement in the last 5 years for a new condo development and even new, large luxury homes, feature these idiotic, unstable, uncomfortable eyesores as some kind of high fashion bonus.
Now I can understand that, in the typical 600 square foot condobox, now selling for minimum half a million dollars in Vancouver, that, when the so-called "kitchen" is, in fact, a tiny area with a stove, fridge and fake marble countertops, that you might want to sit at your little fake counter because THERE IS NO WHERE ELSE TO SIT!
But, now even the glossiest of high end home and garden mags can't resist this cliche. If the kitchen has a "work island," then inevitably there are the Wobbly Ones.
What ever happened to sitting down in a chair?

David,
I agree there is a lot of ugly, non-functional barstools for these 400 square foot pads...
My fiancee and myself had the fun task of choosing some new bar stools, and there's a lot of crap out there...luckily we found two functional and good looking stools!
There's something "freeing" about sitting on a stool and letting your legs dangle! Plus, I've long loved the open kitchen concept.
