Which POLYWOOD tables are accessible for wheelchair users?
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), dining tables must meet specific dimensions to support accessible spaces:
- Surface height: Between 28 and 34 inches tall.
- Knee clearance: A minimum of 27 inches high (from the floor to the underside of the table) and 19 inches deep.
- Width: A minimum space beneath the table of 30 inches wide.
The following POLYWOOD tables meet ADA-recommended table dimension guidelines:
- Parsons 38" x 72" Dining Table
- Studio Parsons 34" x 64" Dining Table
- Parsons 38" x 38" Dining Table
- 84" Parsons Dining Table
- Main Street 36 x 72 Dining Table
- Main Street 36 x 36 Dining Table
Additional Information
- Keep in mind that ADA compliance depends on the overall layout and accessibility of the space, not just the furniture dimensions.
- If you're designing a wheelchair-accessible outdoor dining area, the ADA advises:
- At least three feet of open space on the sides of the table and four feet of clearance at the corners for easy turning.
- Chairs should be arranged to allow wheelchair users to comfortably approach and sit at the table.
