While buying furniture for your office, you might have noticed that tables come in three different height settings – Standard, Counter and Bar.
A bar height table, as the name suggests, is mostly used in bars and restaurants. Counter height is the height of the kitchen counter, while the standard height table is the shortest of the three.
Here’s Nicole Groshek from National Business Furniture with a complete description.
What is the Difference Between Standard Table Height, Counter Height and Bar Height?
Standard table height is the shortest of the three followed by counter height and then bar height. There are a number of pros and cons to all three table sizes, and we know how tough it can be when trying to decide! Here’s a quick snapshot of the differences to help you make the right choice before outfitting your business’s café or break room.
Standard Table Height is 28” – 30”H. The biggest benefit to standard size tables is that they are the most common, meaning you’ll be able to find them in a much broader range of styles, sizes and price points. These tables accommodate standard size tables, which are also available in a much wider range of styles for the same reason. Even if your break room isn’t entirely outfitted in standard height tables, there should be at least a couple of these options available for disabled employees to use.
Counter Height is 34” – 36”H. These taller options must be used with stools that have a seat height of 24” – 27” tall. Benefits of counter height tables and stools are that they can give a space the illusion of being less crowded. In addition, these types of tables are much easier for employees to stand at for a more casual dining experience. See full post
