Whether you are planning to refurnish your dining room this spring, or you are up to redesigning your home completely and searching for a jolt of fresh air, do not miss our brief furniture guides at FurnitureCart. The section is meant to display the spectrum of the furniture options available to make a statement in your house. Today we reveal the differences between the standard height dining tables, counter height and bar height tables. Discover which fits the requirement of your new design ambitions and the needs of the homies.
Standard table height is 28”- 30” H. One of the advantages of the standard size tables is that they are the most common, and could be easily found in a wide range of styles, sizes and at different prices. These tables accommodate standard-size chairs, accordingly. The standard height tables are perfect for dining: everybody feels comfortable, as both feet are on the ground, and the height of the table is ideal for eating meals. This choice is secure for children and proper for elderly and disabled persons. The matching standard chairs‘ height is 16”- 23” H at the seat.
The counter height table is 35”- 39” H. These taller options must be used with counter height chairs or stools, accordingly (with the chairs’ height of 24”- 27” H at the seat). One of the benefits of counter height table sets is that they can give an illusion of the space being less crowded. Moreover, these types of tables are convenient even to stand at, for a more casual dining experience or for having a social drink.
Bar height is usually about 41”- 43” H. Bar height tables are sometimes confused with counter height tables. In fact, bar height ones are taller (and, accordingly, used with the bar chairs 28”- 33” tall). This is often the type of table and stool combination you will see at restaurants and bars, as it’s clear from the name itself. Often tall and skinny, they are ideal for small and narrow dining rooms and urban apartments with a classy sleek style.
