Choosing the Best Wood for Counter Height Dining Table Styles

Amish furniture makers in Ohio build every wood counter height dining table from scratch. We encourage customization in hardwood type and color. Make it uniquely yours to fit your vision. Wood options include Red or White Oak, Maple, Cherry, Hickory, Elm, and Walnut wood.

Each wood type is strong and durable. Choosing the best wood for your dining set comes down to lifestyle and personal preference. Take the time to understand the natural wood character and grain texture that defines each hardwood. Request wood samples to compare in the comfort and lighting of your own home.

Red and White Oak wood has a prominent grain texture. The texture works wonderfully to hide any scratches in the tabletop over time and keeps your table looking good. Light stains on Oak enhance the rustic appeal of the wood, while dark stains minimize the grain variation.

Maple and Cherry wood have a smooth grain texture. With dark stains or warm stain colors, many people cannot tell the difference between the two. With light stain colors, the natural redness in Cherry wood creates a warmer undertone to the finished color. Maple is light colored naturally, making it a great option for light wood tables.

Maple wood is our top recommendation for white or black table bases with contrasting wood tops. The subtle grain creates a smooth painted finish on a durable hardwood table. Our Camden Shaker pub table features Maple wood legs with Decorator White paint and a White Oak wood top stained Granite Bay.

Elm wood has a unique, feathery grain texture that appears exotic looking. Medium dark stain colors, such as Michael's Cherry, enhance the grain. We often pair Elm tabletops with black stained Maple wood bases, which creates beautiful contrast as a 2 Tone counter height dining set.

Hickory has a rustic grain texture, especially showcased in a natural finish or with light stains. The rustic wood grain adds warmth and character in neutral spaces. The Alberta pub table collection is a customer favorite in Hickory wood and light Willowbend stain.

We often use Walnut wood in counter height tables with a modern design. Live edge slabs create a stunning focal point as a counter height table or bar. Walnut wood has a grayish, brown natural wood color that complements farmhouse and mid-century modern interior design styles.

Size Options for a Counter Height Dining Table in Solid Wood

Solid wood counter table styles are available in a wide range of sizes. A popular size for small counter height tables for 2 is 36" round. We display the Glacier Pub Table with Millcreek Bar Stools as a modern style for small counter height dining set.

Counter height tables for 4 include 36x48 rectangular tables and 42"-48" round tables. A 36x48 rectangular counter height table is the best use of space for small dining areas. Self-storing leaves are available for most pub tables.

How high is a Counter Height Pub Table?

Counter height dining tables are 36" high. This is the most common pub table height. This is also the standard height of kitchen counters and islands.

To compare, a standard dining table is 30" high. Counter height bar tables are 42" high. Our counter height tables are also available in standard dining height or bar height. Whiskey barrel tables are only available as counter height.

What Size Bar Chairs Will Fit a Counter Height Table?

The standard bar chair to fit a counter height table has a 24" seat height. General rule of thumb is seats should be approximately 12" lower than the tabletop. Bar stools will have a footrest of some kind built into the base. That is comfortable seating for most people.

Every dining chair style we offer is also available as a 24" bar chair. Bar chairs can be stationary or with a swivel base. The Eagle swivel bar stool is a customer favorite, available with iron accents that add an industrial element. Other popular bar stools include the Post Mission, Millcreek and Kinglet styles.

Simple, backless counter stools are a great option for saving space and tucking out of the way. From upholstered seats to swivel saddle stools, browse the wide range of options. The Urban stool is the slimmest option for bar stools, perfect for narrow spaces.

For added comfort and style, consider upholstered bar stools with your wood counter height dining table. Modern upholstered options like the Reno bar stools add a sleek, contemporary feel with the round metal base. Costa stools with upholstered seats have decorative nail head trim that adds detail and style.

Do Solid Wood Counter Height Tables Extend with Leaves?

Our counter height dining tables have the option of adding leaves to extend the table. The leaves store inside the tabletop and open easily with gear driven slides. Rectangle tables that are at least a foot longer than they are wide can usually self-store at least two leaves. Round tables can self-store one folding leaf.

Save money with a fixed tabletop on your counter height table if you rarely host or do not have room to expand the table. A fixed tabletop on rectangular tables will have the wood grain running lengthwise on the table. Rectangular counter height tables with leaves have the grain running widthwise.

Currently we do not recommend butterfly leaves for a solid wood counter height table. Solid wood will expand and contract through normal humidity changes in your home causing complications with the butterfly mechanism.

Top Options for Counter Height Tables

Browse our gallery online and see tables with smooth tabletops featuring a classic beveled edge or rounded corners. Other tabletops have a rustic appeal, with visible planks and worn corners and edges. You can customize all counter height tables with your tabletop style preference.

Base Options for Counter Height Dining Tables

The Alberta pedestal base is a versatile classic for medium to large round tables with or without leaves. The sturdy craftsman style is excellent for supporting a heavy solid wood tabletop. Consider a Glacier pedestal for smaller 36"-42" round pub tables. Other round pedestal bases like the Newport offer a range of mid-size tables ranging from 42"-48" in diameter.

Counter height tables with legs at the corners are available in a wide range of sizes. Rectangular tables for 4-6 are a popular option, with larger sizes available upon request. Leg tables that extend longer than 84" will have a fifth leg in the center of the table for support. Leg styles include Shaker, Turned Leg, Parson and more, all available in counter height.

In addition to the counter height tables shown here, there are many other designs available. Every dining table on our website can be custom made to function as a counter height table. Our craftsmen adjust the table leg profiles and pedestal bases to accommodate a higher table.

Whiskey barrel tables are a wonderful accent piece that adds a spot in the family room for snacks, drinks, or playing games. Our whiskey barrels, quarter sawn white oak plank top, and metal footrail create a stunning counter height table. The combination of these elements results in a beautiful and unique piece of furniture. We offer a personalized decal for your barrel top to make it truly unique.
