Bar tables and high tables are wonderfully versatile pieces that work beautifully in various settings. In open-plan living spaces, they create natural divisions between kitchen and dining areas without blocking sightlines. Position one against a kitchen island or window to craft an informal dining spot that's perfect for morning coffee or quick lunches. They're equally at home in compact flats where space is precious, offering a dining solution that feels less formal than traditional setups whilst being incredibly practical.

Our Scandinavian designs bring clean lines and quality craftsmanship to this practical furniture style. Natural wood finishes add warmth, whilst thoughtful proportions ensure these taller pieces don't overwhelm your space. Many feature storage options like shelves or wine racks built into the base, maximising functionality – a hallmark of smart Scandinavian design.
The elevated height of these tables encourages a different kind of socialising. There's something wonderfully convivial about perched seating – it creates an energetic, relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for entertaining friends or enjoying family time. Pair your bar table with our bar stools to complete the look, choosing coordinating finishes that tie your space together beautifully.
Whether you're furnishing a small kitchen, creating a home bar area, or simply want an alternative to traditional dining, our bar tables and high tables offer style without compromise. They work particularly well in contemporary interiors, but their timeless appeal means they'll complement various décor styles.
What Is a Bar Table?
A bar table, also known as a pub table, is a tall dining table typically standing 100-110cm high, designed to be used with bar stools rather than standard chairs. Originating from commercial bars and pubs, these elevated tables have become popular in homes for their space-saving properties and casual dining appeal. Bar tables create informal eating and socialising spaces, perfect for modern living.
How to Build a Bar Table?
Assembling your Boca Living bar table follows our signature straightforward approach. Begin by unpacking all components and identifying parts using the illustrated guide. Typically, you'll start by attaching the legs or base structure to the tabletop, ensuring all fixings are tightened securely, given the table's height.
How High Is a Bar Table?
Standard bar tables typically stand between 100-110cm (40-43 inches) tall, designed to pair with bar stools that measure 75-80cm in seat height. This creates comfortable legroom of approximately 25-30cm, essential for relaxed seating. Counter-height tables, a slightly shorter variation, measure around 90-95cm and work with counter stools.
When choosing your bar table height, consider your bar stools or intended use – if you plan to stand while working or socialising, the taller 110cm height works brilliantly. For seated dining with young children or elderly family members, counter height might be more accessible and comfortable.
