Counters are wonderful things – except for when they aren’t big enough or, well, just not enough. Small counter height tables can help bridge that gap. They work well with barstools that are designed to work with your counter, and they make excellent breakfast nook tables that allow you to look out a window that is placed at countertop height. They can include end storage and can have folding tops or even table leaves for extending the table. They are ideal for that super tall family member who always looks like an adult visiting a kindergarten room when seated at the regular family dining table.

What are the most popular designs of counter height tables?

Simple Bench Style Table

Your counter height table could be a simple bench style table that can fit against a wall or snug up under a window. Enjoy your morning cuppa and pastry while looking out at the world. Whether your window view is trees and greenery or a busy city street, let your eyes feast on the panorama of the world instead of the inside of your own four walls.

Drop Leaf Table

Add a couple of low-back bar stools and a bouquet to this drop leaf table, and position the grouping in a wide hall or unused bit of floor space. It makes a nice conversation corner or a place to rest between cleaning bouts. Include a charging station for your favorite e-reader or game tablet.

Storage End Extendible Roll Out Table

Most of the time, it just looks like another part of your kitchen cabinets. But when you have need of some extra counter space or you have more dinner guests than can fit around the kitchen table, you can pull out this table, pop up its drop leaf sides and have a place for guests to sit and enjoy the warm ambiance of dining with the rest of the family and friends.

Rolling Serving Cart

If you are serving a good, old-fashioned harvest meal, most modern tables just won’t accommodate a large meat platter, two or three kinds of vegetable, sweet and savory relishes, and all the other things that go with a country-style meal. A rolling, counter height, serving cart makes it easy to move added dishes or dessert from the counter to the table without danger of spilling or dropping hot food.

Round Tables

Fit out that odd corner in your kitchen or dining area with a round table and accompanying benches. The setting will fit neatly together so that you can store it tidily in a window corner when it is not in use, or just pull out one bench if all it is wanted for is a morning break. Add a vase of flowers, and a small scent atomizer for creating a pleasant ambiance.
