What is Bar Furniture?
Bar furniture plays a vital role in many hospitality settings.

How do I Choose Suitable Bar Furniture?
Check your measurements
Choosing the right dimension is crucial in creating a functional and welcoming space.
• Bar Height: In the UK, bars typically stand at 106cm, striking the perfect balance for both standing patrons and those sat on bar stools. Standard bar stools generally range from a seat height of 71cm to 76cm, ensuring a comfortable fit beneath the bar, whilst mid-height stools are typically 60cm to 65cm and are often used in casual dining areas.
• Bar Tables: For dining areas, table heights usually fall between 71cm and 73cm. Square and round tables, often sized at 60cm, 69cm, or 79cm, are a popular choice for smaller spaces, whilst rectangular tables, ranging from 92cm to 150cm in length, provide versatility for larger groups. Bar-height and mid-height tables are a great option for compact or more casual areas.
Understand your aesthetic
Choosing furniture that doesn’t fit with your venue’s aesthetic can be a costly mistake. Here at Eclipse Furniture, we can help to make sure you opt for the right style of bar furniture, whether you prefer traditional pub classics or modern bar minimalism. We can also recommend bespoke options, tailored to perfectly fit your establishment.
Know your materials
Bar furniture is subjected to significant wear and tear, so it’s important to choose resilient materials:
• Hardwood: Timeless options like oak and walnut are highly favoured for tables and chairs. These woods offer exceptional strength whilst also bringing a warm, classic look that will suit both traditional pubs and modern bars.
• Durable and Special Finishes: Protective finishes can extend the lifespan of your furniture, shielding them from spills, scratches and cleaning products. Stain-resistant and heat-resistant coatings can also help to prolong the life of the furniture.
By combining sturdy materials with thoughtful design, your bar furniture can effortlessly handle the demands of a busy environment whilst enhancing your venue’s overall experience.
