How tall are restaurant tables

You must be extremely careful to choose restaurant tables at the right height — dining height as standard is mm. Anything below this mm is classed as bar height and can often be too casual especially if you have a fine dining establishment.

A standard height mm restaurant table comfortably accommodates standard seat height side chairs mm. In order to choose the right amount of restaurant tables you require, you need to decide how many customers you can serve, based specifically on the area size of your restaurant. For smaller more informal restaurants these widths can be reduced and at the opposite end of the restaurant market, these widths can be increased, specifically fine dining restaurants.

But introduce table top thickness and top rail height together, as with refectory type tables , and you've effectively narrowed down the workable parameters. Ignoring everything else for the moment, the realistic minimum distance between the chair seat and table top, is around 24cm, with the maximum being around 30cm. The ideal is around 26cm. Most modern chairs have their seat height set at around 50cm from the floor and most dining tables are around 76cms high.

Therefore, we achieve the ideal 26cm. Indeed, most of our tables and chairs fit within this criteria. As they should! But we also have to factor in how much space we have for our legs, under the table. The minimum gap should be no less than 9cm which, I hasten to add, is a bit tight. You should really aim for at least 12cm.

Anything above that, is a welcome bonus. In the diagram above, you can clearly see that the relationship between a fairly normal chair seat height and a fairly normal table height, gives us the ideal 26cm.

At this distance most adult people are able to sit and feel comfortable at the table, whether they're eating, doing paperwork etc. With a pedestal table , such as the one above, or a trestle type table like our Medieval style tables , there are no side rails close to the table top edge, so the gap for our legs in this scenario, is 21cm.

Which is brilliant! In the diagram above, we have exactly the same height chairs and table as the pedestal table before but, as this is a refectory type table , the side rails have reduced the usable gap for our legs to 12cm.

Coffee table height varies from 16"H to 18"H depending on the outcome desired by the user. The most common table height will be 16"H. This will make the cafe table 2" lower than the standard seat height of most dining chairs, lounge chairs, and banquette booth seating.
