Benefits of Outdoor Counter Tables

Counter tables are a unique and modern table option with several distinct advantages. These tables measure close to waist height, making them comparable in height to bar tables. They can comfortably be utilized and reached by standing adults and can be styled with or without seating. Unlike bar tables, however, outdoor counter tables feature full-sized dining table tops, making them appropriate for more sizable groups sharing a full course meal.

An outdoor counter height table contributes to a casual, contemporary ambiance, and makes for a more informal outdoor dining set than arrangements with traditional height dining tables. Available table sizes generally measure between 15" and up to 60" or larger, meaning they can be used in almost any sized space.

These tables are offered in shapes including circular, square, and rectangular, and manufactured from popular outdoor materials such as recycled plastic, aluminum, cast aluminum, for example cast aluminum patio counter tables and wrought iron. Recycled plastic options further contribute to a laid-back aesthetic and represent a vibrantly colored and low-maintenance table option, guaranteed for years of enjoyment and use. Aluminum and wrought iron selections generally appear more stately and traditional, for a look that mixes modern sensibility and classic elegance.

Counter tables are typically coated with a high performance powder-coating, engineered to resist rust, corrosion, or other weather damage. Popular on pool decks, many outdoor counter tables feature glass tops, resistant to spills, stains, and watermarks, as well as umbrella holes for added functionality.

Decorating With Outdoor Counter Tables

Outdoor counter tables appear well in many commercial and residential settings and are well-suited to diverse uses. Especially popular on pool decks, recycled plastic or glass tabletop models can function as a part of an informal dining arrangement when styled with two or more bar stools. The large surface area of these tables also makes them appropriate for displaying sizable food spreads, buffets, or other displays.

An outdoor counter table can be employed as an oversized, stand-alone bar table to accommodate larger groups. The height of these tables also makes them an ideal dining option in environments with obstructed views, where a higher vantage point might be desired for optimum viewing and enjoyment of the space when paired with bar stools.
