Staging Question- bar stools

smiley2 · January 2012

Sighh. So I made a huge mistake. I bought 2 bar stools without measuring first. I looked at them online and had my DH pick them up. They are clearance and NOT returnable. The most annoying part is that they are simply for staging- they won't even work at our new home.

So the stools are too wide for my small bar area. Should I:

1. just use one stool

2. turn them the other way and use both stools (picture is of one- I haven't unpacked the other one yet)

I wish I could return them and just start all over. But I can't.

*Please* ignore the mess on the bar- I'm in the middle of packing HELL.

I'd use just one.

Turning them would look odd. I'd just use one.

Any chance you can sell them on CL for what you paid (or more)?

Just use one.

I wouldn't use them. One doesn't quite look right to me and turning them doesn't work.

Just use one, then sell them. Things like this is why staging beyond making the place look uncluttered and depersonalized doesn't make much sense to me.

I wouldn't use either of them.

I wouldn't use either. One would just make me think how narrow the space was, 2 turned sideways would do the same thing.

I agree, it really doesn't look big enough for 2 and one just draws attention to how small it is. I think you are fine without them. Looks too small to be a breakfast nook anyways.

don't use them. they also look like they're the wrong height (counter height rather than bar height), which makes the bar look even more unusable.

Skip them and sell on craigslist.

Wrong height. Using one makes the space look small. Turning them sideways just looks weird and would call negative attention to the space.

I agree. Sorry.
