If you’ve ever searched for dining room furniture, you might found that there are 3 major types of dining tables and chairs, due to the height. FurnitureCart is here today with the basic dining tables and dining chairs height guide. Save it and use it whenever you are ready to rearrange the furniture in your dining room space.

Usually, furniture manufacturers offer the option of three: standard, counter and bar height set. Let’s find out which is more comfortable for you and your family.

STANDARD HEIGHT

The standard height dining room set is the most commonly used and comes in most of the collections. This kind is considered to be the most comfortable due to the sitting height, and feet rest naturally on the floor.

A standard height dining table (or regular height dining table) sits at the level of 28-30 inches. The dining chairs, dining benches or dining stools of 18-23 inches fit this type of a table. Moreover, these sets are better for kids. And, it is the most comfortable table height for the people in wheelchairs.

COUNTER HEIGHT

Slightly higher is the next type – counter height dining room set. A table in this set is leveled up to 34-36 inches with the matching counter height chairs and stools of 24-26 inches. This set is the same great for cooking, meal prep, as for enjoying those meals.

As you might have guessed, for this reason, it has been named counter height table. One more benefit – it is a good solution for small spaces. If you are hosting a party, your guests will enjoy it, as this kind of dining set creates a casual environment whether a person is standing or sitting while having a drink.

BAR HEIGHT

The highest of today’s three is the bar height set type. The bar height table (and sometimes bar itself) sits at 40-42 inches. The level of bar chairs or barstools reaches 28-30 inches. This set helps to create the home bar nook in your space.

If your place is more a party and chillout zone than a dining room, then it’s best for you. Besides counter height sets, it’s another solution for cramped spaces. You might like to have a 2-seater bar set with storage, with wine rack, shelves for dinnerware to save more space or opt for 4-seater to accommodate more guests.
