What is a counter table?
1 Answer
A counter table, or counter-height table, is higher than a standard dining table and is ideal for entertaining. It can be used for serving food or gathering with friends over cocktails. This type of table, which offers a comfortable medium ground between sitting and standing, has origins in English medieval furniture.
