Finding designer barstools at non-designer prices

Entrepreneurs who are thinking of opening a commercial hospitality establishment like a bar, inn, or restaurant should know that it isn’t just the food or service they provide that will bring them much-needed traffic and success. The way their establishment looks is also key to attracting – or repelling – first-time guests and/or repeat customers. But sometimes budgets aren’t sky-high to begin with. Oh, the dilemma of finding high-quality contract furniture that won’t burn a hole in one’s pocketbook!

Fortunately, there are sites like the Hotel Surplus Outlet. If your small hotel or bar is in need of classy looking but more affordable furniture like barstools, then this is the place to visit. Look at the pictures below to see just a few samples of the barstools they have on hand (click the thumbnail to see a bigger image).

Hotels change their décor and furniture regularly for several reasons. Sometimes they do it to accommodate changes in their guests’ needs, sometimes just to create a whole new look altogether. The castoffs are then snatched up by bargain sites. A lot of times they carry tables, chairs, and other pieces of hotel furniture created by very popular and highly regarded designers like Philippe Starck. The great thing is they are available via Hotel Surplus Outlet for only a fraction of the original price. And because they were designed and created for a hospitality setting – and high-end ones at that most of the time – they can be re-used as commercial café furniture, bar furniture, and the like.

While some of the pieces they carry look brand new, you can expect a lot of them to look a little worse for wear, but nothing that a bit of retouching can fix. After some cleanup and maintenance work, it can look as good as when it was first launched. So if you’re looking for quality, affordable barstools or other furniture items for your bed-and-breakfast or restaurant, be sure to look at sites like Hotel Surplus Outlet.
