Counter height dining sets are part of an elite set of furniture meant to be set up in a great room, such as a space between the kitchen and the living room or between the kitchen area and a formal dining area.

QUICK OVERVIEW – Our Top Picks for Best Counter Height Dining Sets:

Crown Mark Tyler 4-Piece Counter Height Dining Table Set

This table and benches set by Crown Mark is perfect for a family with kids because the bench seats allow kids to climb up and make themselves comfortable at the long table. It's also a great set for artists, college students, and for people who like eating and watching TV on their laptops at the same time.

This elegant black-painted, brown-seated table and benches set is wonderful for large families and comes with foot rests on both sides of each bench, so that kids and short people can still sit up there in comfort and also have plenty of room to move around.

Do you need something for a deep porch roof and outdoor barbecuing and playing? This is also a great set to keep under a roofed-over patio where you can hang out with your family and keep everyone together while dining outdoors and picnicking. Remember to assemble in an indoor carpeted area so that nothing gets lost down a crack somewhere.

This is a very unique, large set by Coaster Home Furnishings (complete with under-table storage and a lazy-Susan top) that gives you the most versatility in large gatherings. Whether you want to host a large party or just to have your extended family always available for visiting, just get this 9-piece set and settle down to wine and good food and plenty of laughter and fellowship with your loved ones.

The kids will have lots of exploration and fun under the table and there's even a little shelf they can use when they're playing with their dolls and cars.

If you have a more adult set of visitors, the center of the table underneath opens up to reveal runners upon which to hang wine glasses and a nice, neat little storage area for four or five bottles of your favorite wine. This is a great, secret place to put your favorite vintages and anything else you don't want the neighbors to know about.

Coaster Home Furnishings Lavon 5-Piece Counter Height Table with Cushioned Chair Set

This amazing, warm, homey set by Coaster Home Furnishings comes in a warm, brown color which goes well with warm tones in your home. This is definitely a great color palette for homes which are already sunny and warm in tone. This is definitely not a cool-toned brown.

The table has the ability to either be round or to have an 18-inch leaf extension in the top. You can take the leaf out or put it in yourself very easily. The underside of the table is for storage and the door swings open from the top in a suspended way, just like a drawbridge. This is where you can store your secret box of recipes.

The chairs are ultra comfy with curved, widening backs and ultra-soft seat cushions. The under-table area is both for closed storage and open shelving. A large, open shelf can be used for storing extra baking dishes and extra cookbooks, as well as the hidden storage being used for your secret recipe box.

Mainstays 5-Piece Counter Height Dining Table Set

This elegant, modern set from Mainstays comes in multiple color options, but we prefer basic black because it goes so well with the modern and sturdy build of the furniture. It looks sleek and sturdy all at the same time and has a very basic, blocky feel which lends itself to minimalist environments, like your modern home.

The style and matte-black color look good in stark, cold white areas and in warm, off-taupe environments. This set will fit in anywhere and in just about every color scheme or design theme available.

This is a great, powerful, bold table set which will look perfect in the morning light when you are sitting down to breakfast with your family. It is also a great height for food preparation if you want to move it into your oversized kitchen as a type of island. It will definitely serve that purpose very well and will have easy clean-up.
