Bar tables have had an interesting journey. They started in chic pubs and restaurants that wanted to create a relaxed ambiance for patrons to socialize. Somewhere along the way, a homeowner had the bright idea of recreating this relaxed ambiance for social gatherings at home too. And why not? The homeowner must have seen the benefit of having a focal point for guests to socialize.
Take this standing table, for instance. It features a spacious rectangular top and is constructed from metal, wood and MDF (medium-density fiberboard). The table is an ideal addition to your living room when you host gatherings and parties.
You may be surprised to know that modern bar tables are found not only in homes but also in hospitality areas of corporate offices. According to this blog by Sierra Living Concepts, the specific purpose of a standing table is to provide guests with a space to work, socialize, and enjoy a drink as well. We couldn’t agree more. A bar table does bring people together. Whether at restaurants, pubs, homes, or offices.
Consider this leatherette padded bar table, for instance. It features a glossy lacquer coating, shining chrome bar handles, and a crystal-like button tufted siding. This table is great for hosting and will make a striking style statement too.
Ideal Height For Bar Tables
Once you have decided to get a standing table for your living room or kitchen, the next thing to consider is its height. The reason we say this is that the table’s dimensions need to complement the dimensions of the physical space it will occupy. A long bar-height table may look odd in a compact apartment.
The height plays an important role in sitting comfort too. Since the tables are usually accompanied by bar stools, you would want the countertop at a convenient height for you and your guests to sit, drink, and eat without any discomfort.
All things considered, the ideal table height should be 42 inches or 106 cm. This will provide ample legroom and an upright seating posture. The height also allows you to place bar stools, which are 30 inches or 76 cm tall, under the table once you move on from that space.
The Sierra Living Concepts blog gives a valuable tip regarding table height. It says that you should pull up a bar stool and sit at the table to gauge the ideal height that is most comfortable for you.
Bar Tables Are Different From Counter Height Tables
A common mistake homeowners make is to confuse bar tables with counter height tables. The main point of difference here is the height. A wooden counter height table is usually 36 inches or 90 cm tall, which is 6 inches shorter than a bar table. The counter height table also offers a wider surface area for work, preparing meals, and eating them.
Here is an info-graphic that makes the difference between the two kinds of tables crystal clear:
