Reference illustration for a 2000 × 800 mm, 3-stool bar table — dimensions match the values above.

Description

Sized the same way as a dining table: length or diameter is driven by the per-seat width allowance along the edge. Depth can run shallower than a dining table's, since a bar top only needs to hold a drink and elbow room rather than a full place setting on both sides.

Notes

  • Ledge-style depth (380–450 mm / 15–18 in) only works when the far side is a wall, half-wall, or kitchen counter back — don't seat two rows facing each other across less than 750 mm (30 in), there isn't room for both sets of knees and elbows.
  • Pair with the Bar-height table row on Dining / Standard Table Height (1067–1118 mm / 42–44 in) and Counter & Bar Stool Height for the full setup.
