What we like: Adjusts between dining and counter height

What we don’t like: Can be challenging to assemble

Perfect for: Larger eating areas

Not so good for: Homes with a traditional decor style

A threaded screw mechanism in the table base lets you adjust its height from 30.25” to 38.5”. Each stool’s height can also be adjusted anywhere between dining and counter height while letting everyone choose the seat height they find most comfortable. The tabletop is constructed from manufactured wood and topped with real wood veneers.

This wrought iron dining set reminds us of open warehouses and timeworn factories. Its distressed wood table and stool tops are combined with distressed iron legs in a weathered pewter finish. The stool legs splay out to 20.5” on all sides, and with the 45” round tabletop will take up a lot of space in your room. If you are considering adding an area rug below the table and stools, you’ll need to choose one that is at least ten feet around.
