Surrey Ellis Brown Counter Height Table

This table is exceptionally well-suited for open-concept living. Because its 36-inch height aligns closely with standard kitchen island heights, it creates a seamless visual flow between the kitchen and dining areas. Its streamlined rectangular shape helps define a dedicated dining zone without making the room feel closed off or cramped.

With a generous 72-inch width, this rectangular table comfortably accommodates up to six adults. The 36-inch counter height makes it an ideal choice for both family meals and social entertaining, as it allows for a more natural transition between seated and standing guests during gatherings.

To ensure proper ergonomics and comfort, this 36-inch high table should be paired with stools that have a seat height of 24 to 26 inches. This specific pairing provides the recommended 10 to 12 inches of clearance between the stool seat and the tabletop, ensuring a comfortable experience for dining, working, or casual conversation.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to maintain the finish’s luster. To protect the mango wood veneers from moisture and heat, always use coasters for beverages and trivets for hot dishes. For minor spills, our care guide suggests using a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, followed immediately by drying the surface with a clean towel.

This table features mango wood veneers, which are prized for their unique, rich grain patterns and inherent durability. The use of high-quality veneers ensures a beautiful and consistent finish that is better able to resist the warping or cracking that can sometimes affect solid wood in fluctuating indoor climates—a critical consideration for homes in both humid coastal areas and dry inland regions.

The dual pedestal legs offer a sophisticated, contemporary profile that provides superior functional benefits. By centralizing the support, this design eliminates the corner leg obstructions found on traditional tables, maximizing legroom for all six guests and allowing stools to be tucked completely underneath to save floor space when not in use.

While providing a substantial 72-inch dining surface, this table's counter-height design is a strategic choice for urban living. The added height creates a vertical visual that makes a room feel more open and airy compared to lower, standard-height furniture. Additionally, the pedestal base allows for compact stool storage, making it easier to navigate high-traffic areas in smaller floor plans.
