A perch is a type of seat that is typically elevated and designed for short-term use. It often features a narrow, flat surface and may not have a backrest, making it ideal for quick seating in various environments, such as bars or kitchens. Perches are commonly used in places where space is limited, allowing people to sit comfortably while still being able to engage with their surroundings. Perches can be made from various materials, including wood, metal, or plastic, and come in different styles to match the decor of a space. They are often adjustable in height, providing versatility for users of different sizes. Bar stools and counter stools are common examples of perch seating.
