Whether you are looking for a work table for commercial use or at home, for carpentry, food preparation, crafts, or anything else that has you bending over your work surface for hours at a time, the height of your table can make a huge difference. A counter height work table may be just what you need for improved comfort and overall health, as well as increased productivity.
Counter height work tables stand taller than standard height tables, usually at around 34″-36″ inches high. This makes them comfortable to stand at while using the table surface, without having to bend too low in a way that brings pain to the lower back. Counter height tables can also be comfortable to sit at by using counter height stools or chairs.
34 to 36-inch work tables are available in a range of tabletop sizes and a variety of materials, colors, and styles. The best counter height work table for your personal needs will depend on several things, such as the type of work you plan to do at your table, the amount of time you spend standing at your table, and where your table will be located.
