Ideal for Tall People

Counter height tables provide that additional leg space, and are great for all those people out there who are really tall, and who often find regular height tables uncomfortable.
Allows a Better View. A counter height table is best suited for occasions where you want a better view of your surroundings, such as over the railings or wall of your patio. This is especially true for kids who, if made to sit on a tiny chair, may miss out on the lovely view of the flower garden or the sight of beautiful birds foraging on your lawn.
Brings in a Casual Feel. If you're a fun-loving individual, and this reflects in the theme and decor of your dining room, then a counter height table would probably be the right choice. This is because these tables, with their sleek designs, have a casual feel to them, and are best suited for modern dining rooms.
Ideal for Eat-In Kitchens. Counter height tables are the perfect match for eat-in kitchens, where they can easily serve as an extension of the kitchen counter-top to provide some additional preparation space. What's more, the height of the chairs makes it easier for people sitting on them, to have a conversation with the people standing in the kitchen.
Convenient with High Chair. If your toddler is sitting on a high chair next to you, then it gets difficult to feed him/her if you're sitting at a regular height dining table. However, a counter height dining set solves this problem, as the tall chairs ensure that you're sitting at the same level as your baby.
Not So Popular. Since standard height tables are preferred by many, you'll find them in many different designs and makes. Sadly, this is not the case with counter height tables, because it's a relatively new trend that is slowly catching up. Also, if you have a counter height table, and wish to buy seating for the same, you'll find that most chairs are made to match tables of regular height. Hence, you'd probably need to get them custom-made to suit your tastes and home decor.
