Why the top is 40 mm and not 25
At 2400 mm with only two leg frames, a 25 mm top sags visibly in the middle within a year of service, and the sag shows up as a wobble in the glass rather than as a bent board. Forty millimetres of solid wood on 1800 mm frame spacing holds a straight line under eight people leaning on it. The plank joints are glued and dowelled with the grain alternating, so the top moves as one board rather than opening at the seams.
The trade-off is weight. The top alone is around 42 kg, which is why the leg frames are separate and bolt on with four M8 bolts per side: two people can move the set into a room and build it there rather than carrying it assembled through a door.
Backless stools at 750 mm
Eight backless stools fit under a 2400 mm table because each one takes 290 mm of run rather than the 450 mm a backed chair needs. Losing the back is what makes the communal table work: guests sit at any point along it, and the sightline from the bar stays open across the whole room.
The seats are 320 mm round with a slight crown, so they drain if a glass goes over, and the footring is at 250 mm, which is where a 750 mm stool is comfortable for a long sit rather than a perch.
Traditional proportions, current frame
Traditional here means the table is taller relative to its width and the stools are round rather than square. That reads as an older public house rather than as a works hall, which is usually the point when a bar is being fitted to look like it has been there for thirty years.
