Dining table size guide

Choose a size that seats everyone comfortably and leaves room to pull chairs out and walk around. Three quick checks:

1. Seating

Allow about 60 cm of table edge per person. Actual capacity depends on your chairs and where the base sits.

Rectangular, oval & ellipse	Seats
140 cm long	4
160–180 cm long	6
200–220 cm long	6–8
240–280 cm long	8–10

Round & square	Seats
100 cm	4
120–130 cm	4–6
140–160 cm	6

2. Space around the table

90 cm from the table edge to a wall or furniture is the minimum to sit down and push a chair back.
110–120 cm if people walk behind the chairs, e.g. a route to the kitchen.
45–60 cm on a side that sits against a wall and isn't used for seating.

3. Minimum room size

Table size plus 90 cm on every side:

Table size	Room needed (at least)
180 × 90 cm	360 × 270 cm
200 × 100 cm	380 × 280 cm
220 × 100 cm	400 × 280 cm
Ø 120 cm round	300 × 300 cm
Ø 140 cm round	320 × 320 cm
Ø 160 cm round	340 × 340 cm

90 cm or 100 cm deep?

90 cm suits narrower rooms. 100 cm gives more space between opposite place settings and room for serving dishes down the middle. All our dining tables are 76 cm high.

Quick tip

Mark the table's outline on the floor with masking tape, set a chair at each side and walk around it. It's the easiest way to be sure before you order.
