Lol I have those exact barstools at home.

TIL they are supposed to be hipster/fancy?

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago

No, just cheap and generic.

[-] Raz@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago

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

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Praise it!

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 11 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.
