Poseur & Bar Height Tables
Poseur and bar height tables for standing meetings and casual perching - conversations at eye level.
The poseur table works at standing height, and standing changes meetings: people arrive, get to the point and disperse, without the settling-in ceremony a seated table invites. For breakout areas, canteens and collaboration corners, high tables keep energy up and durations honest.
Paired with high stools, bar height tables turn into casual working perches; left bare they host standing lunches and the Friday social. Compact pedestal bases put a lot of table in very little floor, which suits the in-between spaces they tend to occupy.
Frequently asked questions
What is a poseur table for?
Standing meetings, coffee points, breakout spaces and anywhere a conversation should be short. A high table with no chairs is the most effective meeting timer ever invented. 9 here from £167.
How high are they?
Bar height, which is roughly 110cm to 115cm, against the 72cm to 75cm of an ordinary table. Some models here are offered in both heights, so check which you are ordering, because the difference is the entire point of the product.
Do I need stools?
Only if people should be settling in. A poseur table with no stools keeps things brief; with stools it becomes an informal work surface. If you do buy stools, allow 25cm to 30cm between the seat and the underside of the top, and get ones with a footring.
Are they stable enough to lean on?
These use bistro-style bases weighted for the height, which is what matters, because leaning puts far more sideways load on a high table than sitting at a low one does. It is also why a poseur table is not simply a normal table on longer legs.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is free on everything, and most of it lands inside a week. Express delivery is offered on much of the range, priced per item on the product page, and gets an order to you within two working days if you place it before 5pm. Two of the 9 products here are made to order rather than stocked, and those take 10 to 15 working days. The product page says which, and shows the date it will arrive by before you pay.
Do you offer installation?
Yes, on everything here. The crew deliver it, build it, put it where you want it and take the packaging away. It starts at £25.95 an item and the exact price is on each product page. Installs usually happen within about 10 working days, and the team agree the day with you rather than simply turning up.
Does it come assembled?
Most of it arrives flat-packed, with the instructions and fittings in the box. If you would rather not build it, pre-assembled delivery and installation are offered on much of the range and priced per item on the product page.
What warranty does it come with?
Guarantees across this category run to 10 years, depending on the product and the part, and the figure is on every product page. Structure, mechanism, electrics, and fabric and foam are often covered for different lengths of time. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.
Can I change my mind after ordering?
On stocked items, yes: tell us within 14 days of receiving them and raise it from your order page, with the goods unused and back in their packaging. Two of the 9 products here are made to order, though, and those cannot be cancelled once acknowledged or returned because you have changed your mind. Each product page says which it is before you buy.
Can you quote for a whole office?
Yes. For twenty items or more, or anything with a complication like a mezzanine or a lift that argues back, we plan the job and give you one quote covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email [email protected] with a rough list or a floor plan.
