Country Lane Black Counter Height Storage Dining Table

This storage table is designed specifically for efficiency in space-conscious homes or urban apartments. The cabinet base features sliding doors, which provide a significant advantage in tight quarters because they do not require extra floor clearance to open. Inside, the adjustable shelf allows you to customize the storage for a variety of needs, from tall serving carafes and kitchen appliances to neatly stacked linens and dinnerware.

At 36 inches tall, a counter height table creates a more casual, social atmosphere that works exceptionally well in modern, open-concept homes. The elevated profile helps maintain sightlines across the room, which can make a space feel larger and more airy compared to standard-height furniture. Additionally, this height is more ergonomic for multi-tasking, serving as a comfortable surface for both seated meals and standing tasks like food prep or casual entertaining.

Yes, the 78-inch length and 34-inch depth make this table an ideal multi-functional piece for homes with limited kitchen space. Because it sits at the standard 36-inch counter height, it can easily serve as a supplemental kitchen island for food preparation. Its slender profile allows it to provide extra counter space without the bulk of a permanent kitchen fixture, making it a favorite for studio apartments and smaller floor plans.

This table is engineered with a slim 34-inch depth, creating a "narrow-format" footprint that is highly versatile. This specific dimension allows it to provide a generous 78-inch surface area—enough for multiple place settings—while remaining sleek enough to be placed behind a sofa in a living-dining combo or against a wall in a hallway without obstructing traffic flow.

For optimal comfort and ergonomic legroom, this 36-inch table must be paired with counter-height stools, which typically feature a 24-inch seat height. This pairing ensures approximately 12 inches of space between the stool seat and the tabletop, which is the industry standard for comfortable seating during long meals or while using the table as a temporary workspace.

To preserve the integrity of the finish, we recommend dusting the table regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Based on our material care expertise, spills should be blotted immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap; always avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can degrade the black finish or the brown wood top over time. To prevent water rings or heat marks, the consistent use of coasters and trivets is highly recommended for long-term durability.
