Choosing The Correct Height Table Legs

Choosing the correct height is critical for a piece you intend to work or eat at, while other projects might be more aesthetically driven. Here you will find guidance on the best leg heights to choose

Table & Bench

Generally speaking, a 73 - 76cm table top surface should be paired with a 43 - 46cm bench top. All of our table and bench legs are sized at 71cm / 28" and 40.5cm / 16" respectively.

Bar & Poseur Tables

Bar or poseur tables should comfortably accommodate both sitting and standing. Although this largely depends on the individual's height, it is generally recommended that these tables stand 100 - 110cm from the floor to their top surface for average use.

Counter

Counters are designed primarily for seated use, making the height difference between the counter surface and the seat of the stool a critical measurement. Typically, the counter's surface height is around 90cm to ensure comfort and usability.

Coffee Tables

The top surface of a coffee table is usually between 25 - 40 cm (10 - 16 inches) although there is far less constraint here due to how they are used.

Cabinets, Side Tables

There are many situations where height it not critical and aesthetics take the lead. When selecting legs where aesthetics dictate height, determine the ideal height for the top surface and choose legs that will achieve that height.
