Bar tables sets
Relaxed informal dining space
Parties are all about food, beverages and conversation. A bar table keeps all three going because of its extra height. Use a bar stool or chairs with your bar table. The taller seating keeps the chit chat and beverages flowing regardless of whether you are seated or standing.

A bar counter brings an element of informality and relaxation to your home. You can also use a bar table as a bar counter. Create a place where you can chill with snacks and drinks or enjoy a quick breakfast. Set your laptop on a bar table for a quick online meeting or to catch up with work. A bar table is ideal for parties because it keeps those who are seated at the same eye level as those who are standing. It keeps snacks and beverages within easy reach of all.
The best room for a bar table
A bar table can be used in many different rooms in your home. If you have an open plan house, you can place the bar table between the dining and sitting areas. A bar table can be used in the kitchen to create a breakfast counter. If you prefer pub-style dining, you can use a bar table in the place of your regular dining table. A bar table placed next to your balcony or patio door is ideal to keep guests supplied with snacks and beverages. A bar table that is narrow is easier to fit into small spaces than a full-size dining table. You can squeeze one in against a wall with a couple of bar stools or chairs.
Size of a bar table
The average height of a bar table is between 40 to 42 inches. Choose a bar table size that is suitable for your room. If you are replacing your regular dining table with a bar table, select a table that has as much seating as you require for your daily dining needs. If you are using the bar table as a second table, bar, or breakfast counter, a more narrow table can also be used. For a tiny home, select from our compact designs that allow you to add a bar table to your home without taking too much room.
Chairs for bar table seating
The added height of a bar table requires the use of bar stools or chairs that are taller. Choose a chair or stool that is well matched. For bar tables that range from 40 to 42 inches high, choose a chair or stool with a seat about 28 to 30 inches tall. Bar stools are ideal if you are using the bar table as a second seating option. They take up less visual space. A tall bar stool or chair is more comfortable when there is a footrest on the chair or the table. Choose bar chairs so that the seats can be pushed under the bar table when not in use. It is easier to buy a bar table and chairs as a set than it is to match them individually. When you buy them as a set, you can be sure that they will match in looks as well as dimensions. You can also use bar stools and chairs for a raised breakfast counter in your kitchen.
Style and colour
If you are placing the bar table between the dining and kitchen areas, choose a table that has some elements in common with either of the areas. If the bar table is in the dining room, common elements between the dining table and the bar table are desirable. Matching bar stools and chairs look attractive.
