Initially considered as an extra preparation space for the kitchen, the first-ever counter height sets were kitchen islands that became eat-in kitchens. The furniture sets provided counter space for prepping meals and served as a small area for a few people to eat quick meals.
Over the last decades, many furniture brands offered counter-height sets in different designs and styles, as an independent and fully functional dining room set. The counter height dining room sets started to include almost any type of table you might find at regular dining height. By now, they can be found not only in kitchens but also in the formal dining rooms, recreation rooms, open concept areas, which proves their popularity and versatility. FurnitureCart collected the spring-inspired Top-5 counter-height dining room sets to inspire you! We are ready to share the advantages that you’ll love about the counter height furniture.

The major difference between a counter height table set and a standard table set is the height: standard dining height is approximately 30” to the top of the table, while the counter height is 36”.
Do those 6” actually make a difference?
– good for having meals and serving as an extra counter while preparing;
– the height is perfect for standing to work at or while enjoying drinks and food;
– the furniture character is part dining, part entertainment;
– a perfect solution for small spaces & eat-in kitchens;
– serves well as a kitchen island;
– placing it closer to the window, you’ll be able to better see the view;
– safer for homes with pets (harder to sneak food from the table);
– can also serve as the writing desk for working from home (great for those who like taking a standing position for a while when working).
