These bar tables and stools make for an original kitchen dining solution or even as a space-saving alternative to traditional dining tables and chairs. Solid wood varieties are, naturally, an ideal although can be pricey. There are some affordable options available though if you’re willing to mix and match a bit?

A two-tome combination of a grey painted finish with dark woodgrain-effect tops make this an ideal option for a contemporary setting.
