Rectangular Bar Tables

Rectangular bar height table for narrow spaces

A straight-sided top slides flat against a wall or under a window, so a rectangular table fits a narrow kitchen or breakfast nook where a round one would not. The mid-century natural oak pub table is 47.24 inches long and only 17.72 inches deep, stands 42 inches tall on splayed legs with a low foot rail, and seats up to four.

Outdoor rectangular bar table for the patio

The industrial outdoor bar table pairs a planked solid acacia top with black hairpin legs. It measures 47.25 by 18.25 inches and stands 40 inches tall, a good fit for a porch rail or the edge of a patio.

Counter height table with storage

The 60 inch counter height tables seat up to six and build storage into the base. The gray wood and the off-white and gray tables have open shelves at one end. The two-tone table has four dovetail drawers, and the marble-look table has a storage base with a shelf and a cabinet. The two-tone extendable table grows from 60 to 78 inches with an 18 inch leaf and adds wine storage and a drawer.

For a small apartment, the 39 inch marble-look counter table hides a nesting table and a drawer underneath.

Bar height table and stool pairing

Allow about 24 inches of table length per person. Pair a 40 to 42 inch bar height table with stools that have a 28 to 31 inch seat, and a 36 inch counter height table with stools that have a 24 to 27 inch seat. Tables are sold without stools. Construction: solid acacia on a metal frame on the outdoor table, and solid wood with MDF tops or wood veneers on most others.

Wipe tops with a damp cloth and dry them, and use coasters on the marble-look surfaces.
