Ensure sufficient row height for easy table scanning Best Practice

The row height of your table should make it easy for users to read the information each row contains. There are 3 common sizes: condensed (40px), regular (48px), and relaxed (56px).[1]

Condensed rows can help display data without scrolling, though it is harder to read than the other two row heights. If seeing the entire table at once is important to the table’s function, then condensed rows make sense. Otherwise, using regular or relaxed row heights provides a better user experience.
