Lol I have those exact barstools at home.

TIL they are supposed to be hipster/fancy?

Praise the sun for me being cheap and generic, instead of hipster, then!

Fancy a bit of jolly cooperation?

They are suggested for restaurants because people don't linger very long as they aren't comfortable.

The "We want your money but get outta here" stools. Just seeing them in a restaurant is enough to make me want to leave.

[-] oshu@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Same. I won't pay to eat in a restaurant that only offers uncomfortable seating.

I think it's a offshoot of the shabby chic aesthetic. Expensive stuff made of cheap elements because you're being sold a certain flavor of minimalism.

I suspect it's also so the rich assholes can pretend to be in touch with society by occasionally "getting the poor people eating experience" (at a premium of course). They emulate classic burger joints and diners while being ten times more expensive with none of the charm.

Well you bought them from design within reach and paid their ridiculous prices, so you should know.

Aldi for $17.99 each if I remember correctly!
