Free Standing Bar Counter
Jump To Our PicksFreestanding bar counters are cheaper and easier to set up than their wall-mounted counterparts. Available in various sizes from space-saving to bigger ones, with more counter space for larger get-togethers. Two-sided counters can be pushed against a wall if you plan on not using one side. However, if you have the space, you should take advantage of both sides.
