Collection: Bar Tables

A bar table turns a corner of the kitchen into a spot for quick breakfasts, a morning coffee or a drink with friends — without the footprint of a full dining setting. Melbourne Home & Living stocks over 130 bar and high tables, from $54, including styles with built-in storage shelves, held in our Melbourne warehouse and shipped Australia-wide with a 12-month warranty and 30-day change-of-mind returns.

What height is a bar table?

Height is the detail that makes or breaks a bar setup, because it has to match your stools. Bar-height tables sit around 100–110cm and pair with bar stools that have a seat height near 75cm. Counter-height tables sit around 90cm and match counter stools around 65cm. Measure the table, then choose stools that leave about 25–30cm between the seat and the underside of the table.

Bar tables with storage

Many bar tables build in shelves or a wine rack below the top — a genuinely useful feature in a small kitchen or apartment, where every surface has to earn its keep. Storage models double as a spot to keep glasses, bottles or everyday bits within reach, so the table works even when you're not sitting at it.

Where do bar tables work?

They're versatile. A bar table stands in for a kitchen island in a rental, creates a compact dining spot in a studio or apartment, sets up a home bar in an entertaining area, or adds casual seating on a balcony. Slim, tall and easy to move, they fit where a full dining table won't.

Matching bar tables and stools

Buy the table and stools together, or measure carefully if you already have one. The rule is simple: match the stool seat height to the table height, leaving 25–30cm of clearance for your legs. Too little and knees hit the top; too much and you're perched uncomfortably high.

Quick buyer's checklist

• Height: bar tables ~100–110cm, counter tables ~90cm
• Stools: match seat height and leave 25–30cm clearance
• Storage: shelves or a wine rack add function in small kitchens
• Footprint: slim and tall to fit where a dining table won't
• Use: kitchen, studio dining, home bar or balcony
• Move: light enough to reposition when entertaining
