Pub or Counter Height Dining Tables
The fastest growing segment of dining sales in the past 5 years has been Pub or Bar Stool Dining where a counter-height table, seating from 2-8 people, is surrounded by barstools. We sometimes refer to this trend as an "SUV trend" where seating is a bit higher than in a normal car, but for whatever reason, sitting on a barstool is "in." Noticeable differences include no "head" of the table (everyone is in a circle or square), and in larger dining areas, the need for a more square-shaped room rather than rectangle-shaped, although with open plan building, this becomes less problematic. The bonus for stool height dining is that the table becomes a great game table where up to 8 people can join in playing Monopoly or other board games.
