Counter Height Dining Sets

Counter height tables and seating can be a great way to go, especially if you’re looking for a smaller set that fits in your kitchen. Many come with storage in the base or on the side, and some even have drawers in the tabletop. This is great for a multi-use workspace and can be a convenient spot to store napkins, place mats, and more.

If your dining space is an open concept design attached to your living room, this can be a fun way to add height variety to your home. They can help the space feel fuller without cluttering your walkways, especially if you have high ceilings.

Tables with Leaves

For a dynamic and versatile option, tables with leaves are a great way to go! Some large tables can have as many as four leaves, allowing your furniture to grow with your family or provide plenty of seating for big get-togethers.

Tables with leaves often come with benches that can fully fit under the table when pushed in. This allows your dining set to fit in smaller spaces and open walkways while also having the ability to grow with leaves.

Backless Stools

While benches are common with dining sets, backless stools are a great space saving tool if you’re looking for a counter height table. Some counter height tables are made to be pushed up against a wall, taking up very little space. These can be used for cute coffee nooks, or as a nice place to eat meals in a smaller kitchen. Because the stools push fully under the table, these can fit in almost any space!
