Kitchen seating areas require the
following minimum clearances:
  • 30" high tables/counters -- allow a 30" wide x 19" deep counter/table space for each seated diner, and at least 19" of clear knee space. (Fig. 1 and 2)

  • 36" high counters -- allow a 24" wide by 15" deep counter space for each seated diner, and at least 15" of clear knee space. (Fig. 3 and 4)

  • 42" high counters -- allow a 24" wide by 12" deep counter space for each seated diner, and 12" of clear knee space. (Fig. 5 and 6)
Comment: Note that while a 24" width is allowed for 36" and 42" heights, a 30" width is allowed for the 30" table height. (See Fig. 1 and 2) The width is increased at this height to allow for wheelchair use.
