How Tall Should Table Legs Be? A Practical Guide to Choosing the Perfect Height of Table Legs

Why the height of table legs matters

When designing a custom table, the height of the table legs is one of the most important aspects to consider. An incorrect height can make daily use uncomfortable and compromise the table’s appearance. Whether it’s a dining table, a work desk, or a coffee table, choosing the right height ensures ergonomics and comfort.

Standard table legs heights depending on usage

Each type of table needs different table legs height based on its function and context.

Dining table legs height

For dining tables, the total height should be between 74 and 76 cm. Considering a tabletop thickness of about 2–4 cm, the table legs should be between 71 and 73 cm tall.

Practical tip: If your tabletop is thick (solid wood 5–6 cm), choose slightly shorter legs to maintain ergonomic seating.

Taormina Design's table legs are perfect for creating custom and resistant dining tables.

Desk or work table legs height

For desks, the ideal total height is between 72 and 75 cm. Thus, the table legs should measure around 69 to 72 cm.

Tip: If you plan to use adjustable office chairs, aim for a total table height of about 74–75 cm.

With Taormina Design, you can create practical and stylish workstations.

Bar table or kitchen peninsula legs height

Bar tables and peninsulas usually have a total height between 100 and 110 cm. Table legs should be about 97 to 107 cm tall.

Suggestion: Pair with stools 65–75 cm high for ideal proportions.

Taormina Design offers tall and robust table legs ideal for modern environments.

Coffee table legs height

Coffee tables should be low and proportionate to the sofa. The total height should be between 30 and 45 cm, with table legs measuring 27 to 42 cm.

Advice: A coffee table should be about 5–10 cm lower than the sofa seat.

With Taormina Design's low custom legs, you can create stylish and functional coffee tables.

Factors to consider when choosing table legs

Before purchasing or making table legs, consider:

Thickness of the tabletop
Intended use: daily dining, work, bar, decorative
Ergonomic space: at least 25 cm between seat and table underside
Desired style: thin legs for a lighter look, massive legs for a stronger visual impact
