Bar-height table bases

Match the furniture to how each room is used

Think about the room this piece will live in before you settle on it. A banquet hall that clears every Sunday wants chairs that lift and stack, while a bar with regulars wants a stool that stays put. Save each choice to the venue plan for that room, with its finish noted, so a second order matches the first.

A bar table stands about 40 to 42 inches high, so check the column of bar-height table bases against your top's thickness and the stools you will seat around it.

Review the finished height

Check the listed height of the complete arrangement, including the top where relevant. Pair the seating and support by their actual dimensions instead of assuming every bar-height listing is interchangeable.

Match the complete table

Review the base height, footprint, and stated top compatibility before choosing the finish. Check the top material and mounting requirements as part of the same decision.

Venue plans

A high-top table is only as steady as what holds it up, and at bar height every wobble is felt in the glass. This page holds 21 bar-height table bases, sold without a top. Decide the top's size and shape first, then choose a base whose spread and footprint suit it.

Matching the base to the top

Two numbers do most of the work. The first is height: bar tables sit at about 40 to 42 inches, and the bases here are built to bring a top into that range; the stools beside them carry seats near 29 to 31 inches. The second is spread. Under a round, take two thirds of the diameter as the smallest spread: a 30-inch round wants 20 inches or more. Square and rectangular tops need a footprint that reaches well toward the corners, or a guest leaning on one corner will tip the table toward them.

Several listings come in more than one base size. A cast iron X-prong table support, for example, is offered at 22 by 22, 22 by 30, 30 by 30 and 33 by 33 inches, all at 41 inches high, with a footrest as an option. Another cast iron table support comes in either a 28-inch standard height or a 41-inch bar height, which helps when the dining room and the bar should share one base style.

Cast iron and the alternatives

Cast iron leads, with nine of these bases. Steel and aluminum have two each, and there is one in chrome and one in stainless steel. Prices start around $43. A wood table support here is cast iron with a wood-grain finish, which gives a bar the look of wood on an iron frame.

Three of these bases are listed for patio use. Keep the rest inside. For a terrace, look first at outdoor table bases.

Building out the bar

A bar area rarely uses one base alone. Dining-height tables along the wall might sit on cast iron table bases in the same finish as these, so the room reads as one. If you would rather buy top and base as a single line, bar-height tables come complete. Tops to pair with these bases are under table tops.

Glides matter at bar height too. The X-prong base above offers adjustable glides as standard, which help on an uneven floor. Mark each high table's size on the room's plan in Venue plans so the bases and tops are ordered in matching counts.
