High-Top Tables

What tables should you rent for your event? Pedestal style tables—also known as hi-tops or bar-top tables—are the unsung heroes of event design. These versatile tables are perfect for creating casual mingling spaces at graduations, baby showers, corporate gatherings, or backyard parties. Their compact size encourages conversation while keeping the space open and flowing.

Use them near bars, dance floors, or food stations to offer guests a convenient spot to rest drinks or small plates. Include them outdoors to encourage guest movement from inside to outside. Dress them up with fitted spandex covers or flowing floor-length linens to match your theme, and consider adding a sash tie in your school or event colors. Visit our website or come in to our Design Center to browse our wide selection of linen fabrics and colors. Or, select our “Edison” style pedestal tables, which have a finished top and can be used without linens.

The most popular size for pedestal tables is a 30-inch diameter round top. But in addition to 30″, we also rent them in 36″ and 24″ sizes. Regarding heights, a typical bar top height would be a standing height, 42 inches, our tallest size. If you need a small seated table, these are great at a height of 30 inches (our shortest size). And 36 inches is our most popular height for a wedding cake table.

Pedestal tables are also a smart choice for creating designated zones, like cocktail lounges, sign-in stations, or dessert displays. Use several together to define casual conversation clusters or pair them with barstools to create a more intimate seating area. They are a great way to expand your event area for a more spacious feel. Whether you’re going for elegance or ease, pedestal tables help set the tone—stylish, social, and smart.
