We got the pub table and tall chairs from Crate & Barrel's Basque collection. (We already had a media console, coffee table and end tables and really liked them.) It's not for everyone, because the table is high and the top isn't particulary big. (Hard to tell in the picture but it's pretty tall.) But it works for us (we didn't have alot of space in the corner, we are tall and there are only 4 of us.) When we have guests we eat in the dining room. Our kids like sitting there but some of our shorter (older) relatives aren't so keen on it. It also works well when we have parties, because it's comfortable to lean against, like a bar.

We have a tiny dining area off the kitchen and I felt a normal height table would look odd so we got a 42" pub height table. I like it but wouldn't recommend it if you have small kids.

Jodi-

Hi there, In my opinion I do not know the reason why people are buying pub type tables and chairs. When I visit and find myself seating in one of those high chairs I find it difficult to cross my legs (which I always do) let alone twisting to get out of it. I find it is a 15 minutes comfort (like in fast food restaurant)Anyway this is my opinion. If you love them go for it.

We recently purchased a 54" square pub (that means counter height  right?) table that came with 8 chairs. I keep 6 chairs at the table and 2 at the small island. We are a family of 4 and we *love* this table. I purchased the coolest lazy Susan made from the top of a wine barrel which works *perfect* for our family and this size table.

Our "eat in" space needed either a round or square, and we just really like the look of the taller table. IÂm half wishing that we purchased a 60" table  but IÂm not 100% sure I would like it space wise once it was there.

Wheatciti  Maybe you should post a picture of your table so we can see what it looks like. Folks may be better able to assist you that way.

danielle if you come for dinner I promise we will sit in the DR! :)

Jodi, every time I see your backsplash I still go "wow"! So cool.

Hi all
Thanks for posting your tables.

I don't have any yet of it set up in my home but I added the pictures of the set taken from the sellers home.
Yes I bought t used, and I think I paid too much at$600.
They did deliver it though, and they lived an hour and a half away !
Mine has stools rather then seats, we are are shorter people too, as I am under five feet tall, and yes there are little ones here, however they seem to "sit" nicer to eat now that they just don't run all over during meal times, but I am sure the novelty of the "new" table will soon pass.
