The Right Size Dining Table For Your Space and Needs.

Tips for choosing your table size.

Dining Table Size Calculator

This calculator helps you find the right dining table size based on your room dimensions. Use this if your main concern is fitting the table into your available space.

Enter the distance in inches between furniture for width and length, and we'll suggest the ideal dining table size for your room.







Table Seating Calculator

Use this calculator to find out the minimum table length based on the number of guests you'd like to seat.




A simple rule of thumb to quickly know a table will fit in your space:

-Keep 3' of space on each side of the table clear so that people seated at the table can have a space to pull out chairs, or move around freely behind those sitting at the table.

-Pay attention to other furniture. If you have a buffet against the wall, measure three feet out from that piece of furniture.

How to choose a table size

HOW TO CALCULATE THE RIGHT SIZE TABLE:

1) Measure the length and width of your dining space.

2) Subtract 6 feet from the length and width of the space to allow a 3’ clearance on all sides.

3) The result is the maximum size recommended for your dining table. For example, if you have a 12’ x 9½’ space, the maximum size for your table would be 72” x 40”.

-Allow about 2’ per person at a rectangular table,though you can squeeze in more chairs when needed.

Seating rule of thumb:

-A 48”-long table seats 4

-A 60-72” table seats 6

-A 80-87” table seats 8

-A 92-108” table seats 10

-A 120” table seats 12

-A 42-48”-diameter round table seats 4

-A 60” round table seats 6-8
