I bought a set of two and even though I don't have a bar, I will have plenty of use for these beautiful pieces.  I myself assembled them and use them as sturdy extra seats, next to a table or anywhere. With a small tray on top ypu can use them to keep snacks or magazines handy. When not in use inside my apartment, I keep them in my back porch (3rd floor apt ) for extra seats to watch the sunset. Good looking and very light to move around
