Check the bolts on your bar stool.

Putting a bar in your home means you can entertain and throw parties whenever you want, and having that bar means also having a number of bar stools available. Bar stools are designed to swivel freely, but sometimes the swivel movement is accompanied by an unpleasant squeaking noise. If the bar stools in your home bar area are squeaking, isolating the source of the noise is a vital first step to fixing it.
