Pub tables give dining a casual flair
Designers are beating the stuffiness out of every piece of furniture in the house. Dining tables are the latest to go downbeat by going up -- in height, that is.
The trend has various names from pub tables to what Crate and Barrel calls high dining.
Customers at Tigard-based Paul Schatz Furniture like these tall tables for media and family rooms, says design consultant Sue Amos. They also work well in second homes and loft and apartment spaces that take the formal out of dining room.
Victoria Grace put one in her floating home on the Columbia River.
"It was a space saver and casual," Grace says of the pub-height table she picked up at Pier 1. "It all makes sense for anyone who lives on the river."
Most of the tables range between 36 inches and 42 inches tall, and they usually have barstools to match.
So relax, belly up to the bar and feel free to rest your elbows on the table.
