Sunset View Brown Cherry Finish Square Counter Height Table

A counter-height table, which stands at 36 inches, offers a more casual and modern aesthetic than traditional 30-inch dining sets. This elevated height is ideal for contemporary lifestyles, as it creates a seamless transition between kitchen prep areas and the dining space, making it perfect for quick meals, entertaining, or even acting as an additional standing desk.

To ensure guests can move easily and pull out chairs comfortably, it is best to leave a clearance of 36 to 48 inches between the edge of the table and the nearest wall or furniture. With its compact 39-inch square footprint, this table is specifically designed to maximize functionality in smaller footprints like apartment dining areas or breakfast nooks without crowding the room.

To protect the sophisticated brown cherry finish and the underlying Okume veneer, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, immediately followed by a dry cloth to prevent moisture from sitting on the surface. To maintain the long-term integrity of the finish, always use coasters for beverages and placemats for hot dishes.

Furniture in humid environments can be susceptible to expansion and contraction, but the engineered construction of this veneered table makes it particularly well-suited for such conditions. Unlike solid wood, which can shift significantly in high humidity, the veneer application provides a stable surface that maintains its refined modern look and sophisticated tapered leg profile even in coastal regions.

Square tables are an excellent choice for symmetrical or smaller rooms because they provide a balanced look and facilitate better conversation flow. The 39" x 39" dimensions of this specific table provide enough surface area for four people to dine comfortably while its clean-lined, four-leg design minimizes visual clutter, helping a small room feel more open and airy.

This table is crafted with Okume veneers, which are highly valued in furniture construction for their ability to provide the rich, warm aesthetic of natural wood while offering superior stability. Veneers are specifically engineered to resist the warping and cracking that can occur with solid wood due to temperature and humidity changes, making this a durable and reliable option for daily family use.
