Why Restaurant Tables & Chairs Height Matters

There are a million and one different details that go into opening a restaurant, cafe, or lounge space. Table chair height is one of the issues we ensure customers understand fully before placing an order. From the decor to the wallpaper to the chair height- every detail matters and make all the difference in the overall ambiance and success of your space. From comfortable bench seat dimensions to restaurant booth size standards, we are here to clarify all your table and chair height questions.

Dining

Restaurant table tops and bases are a fundamental part of any space. Being confident in your space’s specific needs is essential. For example, if you will offer a lounge space where diners can enjoy cocktails while they wait for a table, your table and chair height will differ from that of traditional seating and dining. Let’s dive into restaurant tables & chairs and their specific heights.

Lounge height for a table usually is around 460mm, with a chair height of 410mm. With these dimensions, the table and chair are closer together in height, so customers feel more relaxed and more casual. Because it’s not traditional dining height, lounge seating is perfect of cocktails and appetizers while keeping your guests comfortable and happy.

Traditional dining height for tables is around 760 mm with seat height around 480mm. A lower dining option will have the table height at 660mm, so not a significant difference but it will likely affect the height of your chair.

Barstools

Bar seating is popular amongst restaurants and cafes alike. Of course, bar height is much taller than traditional dining, and you will need to take into account if your bar is counter height or taller poseur. Counter height for a bar is around 900mm so that you will want your seat height at 650mm. For Poseur, be sure to raise the height with the bar at 110mm and the seat at 880mm.
