The Five Best Places in Winnipeg to Buy Bar Stools

The current pandemic has spurred new trends in interior design both in homes and businesses.

For example, more people have embraced the open-air concept as a way to incorporate style, practicality, and safety in their spaces.

And if you’re looking for furniture pieces to put in your planned open-air spaces, such as an outdoor dining area or countertop, then bar stools are suitable essentials.

Bar stools or counter stools are comfortable seating that is stylish and practical for everyday use. They also come in different designs and shapes that will match your chosen interior design.

In this article, we will discuss five of the best places in Winnipeg to find and buy bar stools. You’ll learn which shops offer the best deals and the highest quality bar stools.

FAQs are also available after this list to give you more information on how to select bar stools in Winnipeg.

How much do bar stools cost in Winnipeg?

Before we look into Winnipeg’s best places to find bar stools, let’s talk about how much these seats cost on average.

The prices of bar stools may depend on what the seats are made of, their designs, how long it will take to make them, their respective designers, and their brand names.

To get an idea of how much you’ll be paying initially for a bar stool, take a look at this price table:

TYPE OF BAR STOOL	AVERAGE PRICE RANGE
Swivel	$300 – $700
Non-swivel	$300 – $700
Wood	$104 – $650
Wicker	Starts at $260
Steel	$81 – $156
With upholstery	$260 – $650

Note that these prices are subject to change. For example, if you’re eyeing wooden bar stools to go well with your hardwood flooring, prices may change depending on what type of wood your stools will be made of.

Prices of metal bar stools also anchor on the type of metal used, such as brass, gold, cast iron, or stainless steel.

Whichever type you choose, the bottom line is to select bar stools that suit your budget without compromising your comfort and interior preference.

Where can you buy bar stools in Winnipeg?

We’ve chosen these shops in Winnipeg that offer bar stools based on these factors:

Array of styles – Does the shop offer bar stools with various designs and made of different materials that suit various interior designs?

Price – Are the bar stools worth buying, or are they overpriced?

Product quality – Are the bar stools durable and ergonomically designed for everyday use? Do they last practically a lifetime?

Customer service – Are the store staff accommodating? Do they do their best to assist customers with concerns? Are furniture pieces delivered safely and completely?

1. The Brick

The Brick is perhaps one of the most popular furniture and appliances depot not just in Winnipeg but in other parts of Canada.

In fact, when you visit its website, you can tinker with the location settings and find which The Brick branch is closest to you.

We think this is a plus because if you live anywhere in Winnipeg, you can have your bar stools and other orders delivered to your doorstep efficiently.

One downside customers noted though was that items may not be packed properly and securely. Some reported that they’ve received damaged goods that needed replacements.

To avoid any broken bar stools, we suggest contacting The Brick’s customer support and note them to securely wrap your items. You wouldn’t want broken bar stool parts that are beyond repair.

But the good news is that The Brick offers warranties and insurance to clients. Use these to have any damaged bar stool replaced.

Of course, we still recommend reading the terms of these insurances and warranties so you’ll know if your items are eligible for replacements or refunds.

Now, let’s talk about the types of bar stools sold by The Brick.

If you check the shop’s website, you’ll see a selection of swivel and non-swivel bar stools made of steel and wood. Some have cushions, while others don’t.

We noticed that The Brick has a limited selection of bar stools, with most designs suitable for modern, industrial, and minimalist interiors. If you’re after sleek and practical bar stools, then they’re one spot we suggest you should look into.

In terms of cost, we honestly think The Brick offers bar stools at reasonable prices.

The shop might even offer discounts if you buy multiple bar stools! Talk about saving money while getting the best stools for your home bar or business.

So drop by Winnipeg’s The Brick branch at 1065 James Street, and take a look at the bar stools that will potentially be in your home.

And if you need assistance on which bar stools are suitable for your home and budget, we recommend asking for help from some of The Brick’s staff. They’ll happily assist you and do their best to provide an optimal customer experience.

Customer reviews

Great experience with Pawan Kaur buying our living room set. We came in to have a look around and ended up leaving with a sofa and love seat. Pawan was kind, conscientious, and  took her time with us. We didn’t feel pressured at all but we were well taken care of. Found a set we loved for a great price and got a warranty that is refundable for credit after it runs out. All in all, very happy. Thanks Pawan! – Katherine Armstrong

Gemma was an absolute “gem” helping us chose our furniture! We bought a sectional a couple weeks ago and went back today for a new bedroom suite…and maybe another love seat lol . Her help and guidance were much appreciated!! Would definitely recommend going to see her ! – Paula Hofer

2. Lord Selkirk Furniture

ARRAY OF STYLES	★★★★☆ 4/5
PRICE	★★★☆☆ 3/5
QUALITY OF PRODUCTS	★★★★☆ 4/5

CUSTOMER SERVICE	★★★★☆ 4/5

Another top-rated shop in Winnipeg we think is worth looking into for bar stools in Lord Selkirk Furniture.

With a witty and royal-like name, you might just find a selection of bar stools that may complement traditional-inspired or contemporary interior designs.

Lord Selkirk’s bar stools vary from swivel to non-swivel kinds, from hard seats to comfy cushioned types, and stools with and without backrests.

Staff may also recommend tables that match your chosen bar stools. In a way, you’ll get furniture sets that will brighten your spaces.

Customers noted that Lord Selkirk’s selling prices are on the heftier side.

We recommend checking its website to see if the shop has a sale. That way, you can shop in bulk and save lots!

In addition, Lord Selkirk also offers delivery services. You’ll get your bar stools and perhaps other furniture orders delivered to your doorstep conveniently and safely.

Of course, even the top-rated shops can have their cons. In the case of Lord Selkirk, some customers mentioned that the furniture was pricey despite having mediocre quality.

And while other clients said that their orders were in excellent condition, we honestly think that Lord Selkirk should fine-tune its quality control department to ensure all products are of the best quality before they’re sold.

Some customers also noted that some of the staff were pushy and not that accommodating. That said, the store may also need to assess its crew and address any concerns with the best solutions it can provide.

Now if you’re worried about wasting money on Lord Selkirk’s bar stools, we suggest visiting the store to check for the seats’ overall quality yourself.

That way, you’ll evaluate whether this store’s bar stools are worth buying and if they’ll be sound investments in the long run.

Customer review:

Had a great experience with Lord Selkirk Furniture today! We went in, let them know what we were looking for and our budget. We were quickly shown a few high quality, locally manufactured couches. We found just what we were looking for! Within a few hours the couch was delivered to our door! Signed, sealed and delivered all in one day! We are so happy with the whole process and know we will be enjoying this couch for many years to come! The delivery people were also great and respectful, taking care with our home when moving in the full size couch! – Geoff Guy

I had an amazing experience with Lord Selkirk Furniture and I’m so glad we stopped by the store!  The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to purchase furniture within our budget. Also the items we chose were in stock (hard to come by these days). Communication was excellent. Delivery and setup person was also excellent. I would highly recommend this locally owned business. Thank you – Jenay Lillies

3. JYSK

ARRAY OF STYLES	★★★★☆ 4/5
PRICE	★★★☆☆ 3/5
QUALITY OF PRODUCTS	★★★☆☆ 3/5
⮕Durability	★★★☆☆ 3/5
⮕Design	★★★★☆ 4/5
CUSTOMER SERVICE	★★★☆☆ 3/5
⮕Accommodating	★★☆☆☆ 2/5
⮕Solutions-oriented	★★★☆☆ 3/5

Perhaps one con of getting your bar stools in a reputable store with only one branch is that the convenience of getting to the place or having your orders delivered depends on where you live.

But don’t worry! JYSK is a large home interior and gardening store that has three branches all over Winnipeg!

Customers living in or close to Garden City, Pembina Highway, and Ellice Avenue can shop for bar stools in the JYSK branches located in these areas.

In addition, if a bar stool model isn’t available in your residence’s nearest branch, you can still get them if they’re available in the other Winnipeg branches!

Delivery options also vary, depending on the customer’s membership type. For example, customers with basic memberships can have an array of items delivered free of charge

But of course, customers with silver, gold, and premium membership may have more access to household items that are pricier and fancier.

One downside customers mentioned about JYSK’s delivery system is that many items come in damaged or disassembled.

Now we think the damage could be due to mishandling of the delivery personnel or some products didn’t pass the quality control check yet were still offered for sale.

Either way, we believe that it is crucial for JYSK to improve its quality control department to ensure that all products, from bar stools to sofas and gardening tools, are in the best condition.

Plus, if products presented for sale are always of excellent quality, more customers will think that prices are worth paying for. There will also be fewer dissatisfied customers asking for replacements or refunds.

Now, let’s talk about the design of JYSK’s bar stools. Just like the previous two entries, this store has various bar stools, from swivel to non-swivel kinds made of materials such as leather, wood, plastic, and metal.

And while these seats are found in the dining area section of JYSK’s website, you’ll find modern-looking bar stools perfect as home office chairs.

Another downside clients have raised is that some of JYSK’s cashiers are snotty and rude. Should you encounter such, we recommend contacting JYSK via email or phone to relay your concern.

That way, you’ll explain what happened and help the store fine-tune its service and staff. You’ll do yourself and other future customers the favour of getting the best services and products you deserve.

On the other hand, many customers also praised some of the staff for assisting them in their purchases. Check the customer reviews below to see which people to look for when you shop for bar stools.

Customer reviews:

Absolute great pricing! I found everything I needed to decorate my entire apartment and all for a great affordable pricing. In period I love that they always have tons to choose from with seasonal decorations and all the staff are so friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and I always leave with exactly what I wanted I wanted! (Store is wonderfully organized and always clean!) – Rachel Ens

I’ve received amazing service from store manager Neil and one of the employees Heather. Outstanding customer service! There was some confusion with parts and the manager even came over to my place to make sure I have all right parts and if they are assembled correctly.

Their help and kindness are much appreciated. Thank you Neil and Heather! – Joanna Z.

4. Ashley HomeStore

ARRAY OF STYLES	★★★★☆ 4/5
PRICE	★★★☆☆ 3/5
QUALITY OF PRODUCTS	★★★☆☆ 3/5

If you’re planning to bulk shop some bar stools for your business, Ashley HomeStore in Regent Avenue is perhaps the best place to purchase.

Besides having a wider selection of bar stools suitable for different styles, the store offers free shipping when you order more than $250-worth of products!

And not only do you get free shipping, but you’ll also get your parcels lifted into your home, opened, and items assembled.

Since bar stools cost at least $159, we honestly think that shopping for a total of at least $250 is more cost-efficient than just getting a few bar stools and then purchasing more in the future. Ashley HomeStore might even offer you discounted prices if you buy more than two bar stools.

When it comes to selections, this store offers more stylish bar stool types that might strike your fancy. Check its website and see if you can get seats that will suit your pub-inspired kitchen.

In relation to product quality, some customers said the bar stools are well-made, while others said they don’t last a year or two.

Should you have faulty bar stools, send an email or drop a call about a refund or replacement. Unfortunately, customer service usually takes at least 24 hours to address your issue, so you’ll have to be patient in waiting for solutions.

Although we think that Ashley HomeStore should be more prompt in providing the best solutions, we still commend them for responding and addressing customer concerns with the best that they can.

In addition, improving its customer service will result in more satisfied customers and well-crafted products that are durable and worth every penny spent.

Customer reviews:

Bradley was amazing. We bought our dream couch only to triple check and realize one side would be too long.

He promptly helped us refund and waited for us to come back when we wanted to start our search again, no pressure or hassles.

Today we bought an amazing couch, gave Bradley what we wanted exactly, and he got it all done. The manager even gave us a better deal!

Update:

Showed up ahead of time, team was quick, friendly, and efficient. No issues and it looks amazing in the home. – Shawn Bernard

What a wonderful delivery team!  They were very respectful, fast and efficient.  I was so thrilled with their work.

They took away my old furniture and set up the new furniture, even centering the sofa under the picture on the wall!  Definitely worth the extra cost!

My whole experience was great.  I purchased on Thursday and had everything new and arranged by noon on Tuesday! – Linda Brown

5. IKEA Winnipeg

Last but not the least, IKEA is an iconic spot to find all sorts of furniture, appliances, toys, and whatever you can name under the sun!

And before you think we added IKEA to our list just because it is popular, customers have noted the store’s vast array of bar stool options and how they’re easy to assemble and worth their prices.

The fun part about shopping for bar stools in this IKEA branch is getting your furniture and assembling the pieces like a puzzle.

You may think of it as a therapeutic way of taking breaks while building well-crafted furniture sets for your kitchen, dining table, or home office.

And despite being a huge depot of home design essentials, customers praised how IKEA Winnipeg organizes its array of products.

Exploring the wide aisles may also be a fun experience; we think it could be a mini field trip for you to check other suitable furniture options for your spaces.

And should you get lost looking for the counter stools, IKEA Winnipeg’s staff will be happy to assist and guide you to the right section!

On the other hand, if you’re still wary about shopping in a popular store due to the prevailing risks of COVID-19, fret not!

IKEW Winnipeg offers delivery and curbside pick-up services. After placing your orders, you may have them delivered or you may get your items at IKEA’s curbside area.

Now one con we were told about was that opting for curbside pickup isn’t always the most convenient option.

One customer said that upon checking out their items, the curbside pick-up option wasn’t available, noting that going to the store to buy might be a more suitable option.

Still, since IKEA Winnipeg is said to have a sprawling outdoor parking area, walking in the store to get your bar stools might not be a bad idea. After all, you’ll have a spot to park your car and get to see what the items look like in real life.

And if you get hungry, IKEA Winnipeg has its spacious cafeteria where you can get iconic IKEA dishes, such as meatballs, cinnamon bun, and carrot cake!

While some shoppers mentioned that the food might not be the best, we still think trying out IKEA’s famous menu will complete your bar stool shopping experience.

Customer reviews

Always love roaming around Ikea. It is therapeutic. The attention to detail that they put into each setup they create is beautiful. It’s a visual overload just walking through and so much home decor inspiration everytime I’m there. And the food at the 2nd floor food court is amazing. Always have the meatballs. There was this one time that they had strawberry champagne cheesecake and it was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had.

The cafeteria downstairs is very cheap. You should try the ice creams with ligonberry from there. Was just $1.5.

They have a swedish brand called Almondy that sells gluten free almond cakes and they’re exceptionally good. If you find the chocolate and caramel one, definitely get that.

Swedish coffee is also very good so you should definitely consider picking up a bag of coffee when you’re there the next time! – Rashmita Chatterjee

Dropped by IKEA on Tuesday, May 3-2022.

Is still how I remembered it , haven’t been here in 5 years as I’ve been I’ve seas.

They still carry the cork coasters that I love and such a cheap price. These are the best coasters I have ever bought.

Dropped into the food court and had lunch.

Then picked up these delicious thin ginger cookies on my way out 👍 – Robert Steigerwald
