How tall should my table legs be?
How to choose your table leg height?
Most of the time, and with a few exceptions, you will hardly need to wonder what leg height you need! However, with TIPTOE, you can design your own bar table, worktop or even your coffee table, and choose the height of your dining room table. TIPTOE makes this process extremely simple: the heights offered correspond to standard furniture heights, so they will pair perfectly with the furniture you already own.
Choose the height of your table leg according to your project
Take the time to think through your project and define the table leg height you need! TIPTOE table legs come in several heights. To choose the right table leg, first ask yourself what kind of furniture you want. The height of a table varies depending on its function. A coffee table, for example, will not need a steel table leg as long as a high bar table.
Leg height for the coffee table or bench
With the 43 cm designer metal table leg, you can create a coffee table or a bench. The coffee table can be used as a side table, for example at the end of a sofa.
The coffee table height corresponds to a standard height. Keep in mind that, as a general rule, seats are 45 cm from the floor. This means your coffee table will be lower than your armchair, and your bench will be slightly lower than a classic seat. A bench designed with 43 cm TIPTOE legs will therefore be perfect as a decorative hallway bench or as occasional seating.
Leg height for the kitchen dining table and desk
If you are looking more for a kitchen piece and are wondering about the height of your dining table, TIPTOE offers its dining table leg in 75 cm. This is the standard height for a table. You can therefore place the chairs and armchairs of your choice around your piece of furniture. Add a beautiful wooden tabletop and invite your family to enjoy your delicious recipes!
This metal table leg can be transformed into a desk leg if you need to set up a space for remote working. The desk height is ideal for writing reports or holding video calls in complete comfort.
For greater ease and to enjoy beautiful European materials, choose TIPTOE dining tables and desks, in eco-certified oak or recycled reclaimed wood.
Table leg height for the kitchen worktop
With a 90 cm-high table leg, you can easily design a worktop or kitchen island for your kitchen. The height of your rectangular table allows you to store personal items and keep them within easy reach. Your worktop will let you peel, chop and season while standing, with all the freedom of movement these tasks require. With a height of 90 cm, the worktop reaches elbow height for optimal comfort. Check at home: this is generally the standard height of your kitchen.
Good idea: install your worktop at the end of your existing one to gain valuable extra centimetres for preparing your recipes, with no height difference between the two surfaces.
Table leg height for a kitchen island
As a kitchen island, the table leg height also allows you to create a beautiful workspace in your room. Keep your utensils close at hand without cluttering your kitchen, and create a welcoming atmosphere. All your loved ones can gather around this wooden table and get involved!
Around these two pieces, place the mid-height MI LOU TIPTOE stools suited to your table height and fully enjoy a warm, indulgent moment together.
Please note that the 90 cm high table leg is not designed for use away from the wall, with four legs and a tabletop. They were designed to extend an existing worktop or kitchen island, or to support a worktop connected to the wall with BRACKET wall mounts.
Table leg height for a high table
The 110 cm-high table leg is ideal for creating a bar and/or high table in your kitchen or living room, if its dimensions allow.
This height is no coincidence: it is ideal for moments when you need to eat, but don’t necessarily have the time to do so! The 110 cm table leg also means you don’t have to bend down to pick up your salt shaker or piece of bread—perfect for eating on the go!
If your kitchen opens onto your living room, use your high table to create an original, modern boundary between the two spaces.
The leg height for a kitchen bar
This piece of furniture also works as a table for small spaces. With just two legs (your wall supports the tabletop instead of the other two), you optimize your space. And add plenty of character to your interior! For added comfort around your bar, choose a BIG LOU TIPTOE high stool. It pairs perfectly with your furniture and creates a soothing harmony in your room. With the 110 cm leg and wall mounts, use your bar to create a boundary between your kitchen and your living room. This will be very useful in spaces where the first room opens onto the second.
Replace your table legs with your wall!
When space is at a premium in our modern homes, you can count on TIPTOE to offer an elegant and original solution! With its 75 cm desk leg and BRACKET wall mount, all you need is two legs and a wall to create an additional workspace. When the layout and lifestyle allow, this piece becomes a table for small spaces. It fits easily into a hallway.
You’ll find this “system” with the leg for a bar or standing table, and the leg for a worktop. The 90 cm and 110 cm legs are in fact reserved exclusively for this use. You won’t be able to make a 90 cm-high table with 4 legs of this kind. However, with two BRACKET wall mounts, in just a few minutes and the same number of turns of the screwdriver, you’ll have an extension for an existing worktop. You can also position your furniture at right angles to your table, to welcome more guests!
After taking a close look at the height of your high table or the leg height for your worktop, move on to the fun part of the process: choosing the colors! TIPTOE table legs are all available in several colors, to match as many interiors as possible. Add style to your furniture and wooden table, and design furniture that is truly your own! Please note that all the heights mentioned are standard heights. So you’ll have no trouble placing your chairs and armchairs around your favorite designer table.
