Pub Table Savvy

Your dining table is…well your dining table, but purchasing a pub table and matching bar height stools or chairs for your family room or open living area is an ideal way of creating additional entertaining or eating areas in your home while saving wear and tear on your dining set. Pub set tables come in a wide range of materials, finishes and styles, from ultra-modern to trendy to traditional. They generally seat two or four people. Usually round or square, they have the advantage of using the space vertically rather than horizontally, allowing you to add seating to a room without eating up valuable floor space.

Indoor pub sets aren’t restricted to restaurants or other commercial settings anymore. Partly a sign of the fluctuating economy and just the general rising costs of everyday living, more people are opting for staying in and entertaining in their own homes. The growing decorating trend of furnishing a family room, living room or den with a home bar, pub tables and bar stools is definitely a fun and creative way economizing.

The same holds true for your backyard. Outdoor pub sets can easily turn an unused part of your patio or deck into a place to gather with family and friends. A bistro pub set or a metal pub set strategically placed next to a water feature or favorite flower bed is a practical way to beautify your backyard and to make the most of your outdoor living space.

Pub sets are available in a wide range of styles and materials, from ultra-modern to contemporary to traditional. Generally round or square, a pub table usually seats two or four people. Pub tables are typically higher than dining tables or counter-height dining tables (also known as gathering tables). Dining tables stand about 30 inches high while pub tables range from 40 to 42 inches in height. When selecting matching bar height stools to accompany your bar height table, keep in mind that to be seated comfortably, the stools should be 10 to 12 inches shorter than the pub table.
