Picking the right dinette...

Choices! Sometimes having more than one option can make selecting furniture more confusing than we like. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind before heading out shopping for your new dinette:

Standard Height: Table measures between 28"- 30" Tall.

Most people find standard height tables are more comfortable to sit at because their feet touch the ground while they are seated. This is especially true for seniors and those with circulation problems.

Pub Height: Table measures between 34"- 36" Tall.

A Pub Height Table, with its additional height can be used near the kitchen for an additional prep area. They give the illusion of taking up less space than a lower table and can work well in small areas. Pub style dinettes create a more relaxed, casual atmosphere than sitting at a lower, more formal table.

 

Did you know... Pub Height refers to tables and is considered to be 36" high and is sometimes called counter height also! Bar height tables are usually 42" high. A pub or counter height stool, would be 24" high from the floor to the top of the seat. A bar height seat would be 30" from the floor to the top of the seat.
