Need some ideas.

Fellow base builders, I have wracked my brain looking for 'the right combination' for my new room.

The Room: A bar/lounge

The Problem: Seating

So, I don't want to put those ugly black chairs, or that white swivel chair junk in front of the bartop of my bar. I'd like something a little 'cleaner', if you will, and geared more towards a stool or something.

(Apologies for no pics, I'm at work atm)

To give a quick rundown of layout, the bar floor is raised off the base floor with 1 blonde desk, and the bartop itself is comprised of the dark wood cabinet. So, I have 'some' room to sink things into the 'ground' and hide what needs to be hidden.

Can anyone think of a way to make a stool, or otherwise 'backless' chair that I can put in front of my bartop without it looking absolutely horrible?

Thanks!

I have used the large floor lamp with what I think are decent results. All bar chairs in our SG's club, Pocket T, are supposed to be hydraulically adjustable, so the single-post leg of the chair really suits our establishment. Perhaps it would suit yours as well. I made a point of having several of the "stools" at a slight angle to suggest swivilability (is that a word?), and they look a lot more bar-stool-ish as a result, so you may want to try that if/when you evaluate the floor lamps as an option.

GENIUS!!!!

Don't know why I didn't think of that.

Originally, I tried the small breaker box out of the wall items, an sank it into the 'raised floor' a bit, but I couldn't find something small enough to serve as a chair top (tried the rectangular tech crate but it's too big for the area)

Thanks My hang-up is over.

When it gets to be a bit more on the 'finished' side, I'd absolutely love to give you a tour Though I suppose I should just upload some screen shots huh? :-P

Gimmie a bit and I'll show you what I've got so far.
