TABLE & BAR DIMENSIONS

INTERIOR SPACE/DESIGN STANDARDS

STANDARD HEIGHT

Standard height dining tables, sometimes called regular height dining tables, sit between 28 and 30 inches and should be used with 18 to 23 inch chairs, stools or benches.

This traditional option is the most common and gives you the widest selection. You can mix and match chairs, stools and benches from a vast array of styles and finishes. Many people find standard height dining to be comfortable because their feet are able to rest naturally on the floor regardless of their height. Standard height dining is also very inclusive as it’s the perfect height for those in a wheelchair and is also more kid-friendly, as taller tables and chairs may require you to lift your child into their seat.

COUNTER HEIGHT

Counter height tables sit at around 34 to 36 inches and should be used with stools or chairs that sit around 24 to 26 inches.

A step above regular height, counter height tables and chairs gives you a unique look in your dining space or eat in kitchen. Counter height tables are great for food prep as the height, as its name implies, sits near or at the same height as your counters. Counter height dining is also great for small or cramped spaces as the raised height creates a more open and less traditional look than standard height dining. Thanks to this less formal and traditional look counter height dining is great for entertaining guests. The environment they create tends to be more casual and the table sits at the perfect height for your company to rest their drink regardless of if they’re sitting or standing. Let us help you revamp your dining room to match your style with contemporary or casual pieces of your choice.

BAR HEIGHT

Bar height tables sit at 40 to 42 inches and should be used with stools or chairs that sit around 28 to 30 inches.

Bar height dining takes the entertaining features of counter height dining and raises them even higher. The extra height makes them even further removed from the traditions associated with standard height dining, and this is reflected in the environment they create. Rooms that utilize bar height dining are optimal for entertaining and can easily, and comfortably, be converted into a standing space.
