Our score8.1/10

Best budget

OD211 42" Tall Indoor/Outdoor All-Season Pub Table with 30" Round Top, Greystone

OD211's 42" tall indoor/outdoor all-season pub table with 30" round top in greystone, a weatherproof bar table for patios.

Our score8.0/10

Counter-height tables sound tall until your knees hit the underside and your back curls to reach the surface. For long legs, a true bar-height top gives your thighs room to clear and lets you sit upright instead of folding yourself under a table meant for shorter frames. These tables run to full bar height or beyond, with clearance underneath that suits long legs whether you perch on a stool or stand. Check the height from floor to tabletop, not just the stool it comes with.
