Do any of you have a counter height dining table?

What is the advantage of a higher dining table? If it is like the tall bar tables it would be a challenge for me. When my feet dangle it puts pressure on my low back and after two surgeries that doesn't work for me. That may be something to think of especially if you have older relatives that visit. It may be harder to get seated and unseated.

It's just a matter of preference. Ours is a counter height island that seats six. The advantage if it's in the middle of the kitchen is is that it's an additional work surface. It's also a great serving area for a party whether people are sitting around it or not.

It's not for everyone, but we find it comfortable and practical. My kids grew up with this since they were toddlers and never had a problem with it. Counter-height chairs or stools have rungs that you rest your feet on.

It wouldn't work to push tables together, so if that's important, you may want to pass. We have a separate dining room table we use when we have a more formal dinner, but that's less than a dozen times a year.

Counter height square table that seats 8. Kids had no problems with it. Island is counter height also. None of that two tiered nonsense.

No way, I HATE sitting on chairs where my feet don't touch the ground.
