Here are the measurements we work with.<\/p>\n<h2>The standard height<\/h2>\n<p>The tabletop sits 75\u201376 cm above the floor, and the clearance underneath (to the frame or legs) is at least 70 cm. That suits standard chairs with a seat height of 45\u201347 cm and leaves plenty of legroom.<\/p>\n<p>If your chairs have armrests, measure their height: it must be below 70 cm so that the chair can be pushed right under the table.<\/p>\n<h2>Tall tables and bar counters<\/h2>\n<p>For a bar or kitchen island, we work at a height of 90\u2013110 cm, depending on the stools you choose. The same slabs, the same finishes \u2013 only the construction changes.<\/p>\n<h2>How long can a table be?<\/h2>\n<p>We make tables up to 4 metres long from a single piece, depending on the logs available. Beyond 3.2 metres, one-piece slabs become rare and the price rises considerably. For very long tables, we can join two slabs from the same log with continuous grain \u2013 you can see the join, but it looks intentional rather than patched.<\/p>\n<h2>Tabletop thickness<\/h2>\n<p>Between 4 and 6 cm. Under 4 cm, a large table looks flimsy; over 6 cm, it becomes hard to handle and expensive without offering much more in return.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>75\u201376 cm to the top of the table, with 70 cm of clearance underneath.
