# Table Leg Heights

### 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 is 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.thehairpinlegcompany.co.uk/table-legs/choosing-the-perfect-legs/choosing-the-correct-size-table-legs/table-leg-heights.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
