There are two standard pedestal table heights. Traditional café tables are usually 29 – 32 inches tall while bar-height tables are typically 39 – 42 inches tall.
Most café tables are made with durable high- pressure laminate tops. This material is easy to clean and resistant to stains, scratches and dents.
Traditional café tables can be paired with stack chairs and soft seating. With tall café tables guests can use bar-height stools or choose to stand.
Café tables are designed with wide bases for extra stability. Steel bases are the most durable options, while aluminum bases are ultra-lightweight.

Café & Pedestal Table Styles

Round café tables provide space for both collaborative and individual activities. Let students and faculty enjoy their lunch break or set up a group project area in libraries and classrooms. With a heavy-duty base and protective leveling glides, these tables are consistently stable throughout regular use. Available in a variety of styles and sizes, up to six students can sit at a round pedestal table at one time.

Rectangle pedestal tables are a chic alternative to traditional cafeteria tables, but they can also be used in study rooms for collaborative activities. Their broad tops are ideal for holding plenty of food, crafting supplies or school equipment. Perfect for cafeterias and classrooms, rectangle pedestal tables offer a stylish twist on a classic school table shape.

A counter-height table can help bring people together for projects or conversation. The tall design works perfectly with barstools while allowing students or staff the option of standing while they work. Wide bases keep the tables from wobbling, even throughout heavy use. Bar-height tables lend a comfortable and relaxed feeling to any space, making them ideal for libraries or other study areas in schools.

Café tables and chairs are an easy way to provide space to students in cafeterias, lounges and patios. Featuring spacious tabletops and comfortable matching chairs, these furniture sets offer both seating and workspace. Some sets are paired with banquettes to create statement pieces in cafés and libraries. Available in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors, bistro table sets can perfectly match any décor.

Square café tables are versatile options that can be put to use in almost any space. Available in many different styles, their symmetrical shape makes it easy to combine multiple tables to create larger surfaces at a moment’s notice. For flexible classrooms or cafeterias that are frequently rearranged, sturdy square pedestal tables are a great addition.

An outdoor bistro table can lend a stylish touch to outdoor spaces meant for eating, learning or taking a break. Designed to withstand different types of weather, outdoor pedestal tables are resistant to moisture, mold, corrosion and fading. These tables can also be mounted for extra weatherproofing or to prevent theft. With a wide selection of shapes and sizes, outdoor café tables are useful for students and adults that need room to work outside.
