Dining Table & Chair Height Comparison

When picking out furniture for a dining room or kitchen, you need to think about more than just color and style. Indeed, one of the most overlooked factors concerning dining tables and chairs is height. Say you are moving into a different residence — assuming your old or newly bought counter height stools will work well in the space — and only realize they’re way too short for the bar or counter height in the kitchen on moving day. Now you have a set of barstools you don’t know what to do with, and you need to buy a new set to suit your new patio or kitchen. Which bar or counter height will be the most practical if you are building a new home? How high should the stools for that bar counter be? What are the “best” dining table and chair heights depending on how tall the people who use them most frequently are?

5 Cabinets Perfect for Holiday Entertaining

One of the biggest joys of being a homeowner (or renter!) is entertaining guests in your space. Dinner parties and game nights often revolve around the dining table, but that’s not the only piece of furniture you may need. A well-positioned sideboard or buffet can make serving snacks and dishing up much easier in a busy, guest-filled room. It also provides another surface for decorative lighting and party decor. 

What’s the Difference Between a Buffet, a Server, and a Sideboard?

A dining room server is a traditional piece of furniture used for serving meals away from the table. It usually stands on tall legs for easy access to the food and doesn’t always have storage space. On the other hand, a sideboard table is all about the storage. It’s essentially a decorative cabinet for keeping china, cutlery, wine, decor, and anything else you might need on hand during a dinner party.

A buffet table combines the best of servers and sideboards — it has cabinets for storage and a spacious serving surface on tall legs.
