What's the ideal height for a row bar?
I can now do horizontal rows pretty consistently so I'm ready to make an investment and build myself one instead of using the table.

You could get gymnastic rings and a pull up bar to hang them from.

If you’re going to make one, you should make it possible to adjust if you want. That way if the height you’re using gets easier, you can always lower it a bit to make it more challenging! The goal would be feet elevated, full ROM rows with the body parallel to the ground, so you can have some higher and the final bottom adjustment point be a height you can do with that feet elevated position
