1. Think about Size

Being able to find the exact balance between space and size enhances the function and overall look of a dining room? It’s imperative to scale the size of the dining table to the available space in the dining setting! So, follow these guidelines

  • Leave some space, from behind the dining chairs to other furniture or the wall in for your guests and you to get up and down from the dining table with no hassles. 
  • On the floor, map out exactly where you plan to put your dining table with tape so you can easily envision how the dining table will fit into your dining space.
  • Consider the number of family members or guests you plan on accommodating for special events, day-to-day activities and holidays. 
  • Give each guest around 2’ of elbow room so that each and every one of them has enough room to converse and eat comfortably. 
  • To be able to sit between four and six guests at a round table requires a diameter of 44”-54”, while a rectangular table needs about 60” to accommodate six guests.  

Do you host huge gatherings during momentous occasions? Investing in an extendable table or in our rectangular Gridiron Table. Made of stainless steel, this eye catcher will surely let you sit all your diners. What a smart solution!
