Tablewise Size

So, you're thinking about buying a new dining table. It may seem obvious, but one of the most important things to consider is its size and how it will fit within your space.

Several factors can influence your choice, including the size of your room, where you plan to position the table, the space taken up by its legs and their placement, and how you intend to use it—whether for intimate family meals or lively gatherings with friends.

It's a decision worth careful thought. Choosing the right dimensions to suit both your space and your ideal seating configuration is key to achieving the perfect balance of style and practicality.

The size dimensions of this table are:

 Length (cm)  see product title
 Width (cm)  approx 100cm
Height (cm)  approx 75cm
Table top thickness (cm)  approx 4-4.5cm

*Note: Each table top is unique with a unique grain and shape; therefore, the width, thickness, and length of the table top can vary by up to 5cm from the above specifications.

The Size Of Your Dining Table: Number Of Seats

One of the biggest considerations is knowing how many people will generally be sitting around your table, and how many seats you want to accommodate.

As a general rule of thumb, these are the rough sizes depending on the number of seats:

We can increase or decrease the table edge to the leg fixing plate in order to perfectly accommodate your chairs. If you wish to discuss the leg placement please add a note on the cart page requesting a call back or use live chat (if we are online) or the contact form further down this page.

Estimating the Right Size for Your Dining Table

One of the best ways to choose the perfect dining table for your space is to visualise how it will look and feel in the room. Mocking up the size can really help you get a sense of how it will work in your home.

There are a few simple ways to do this. You could use masking tape or cardboard to outline the table’s footprint on the floor. To get an even better sense of scale, try filling the space with books or newspaper stacks to approximate the table’s height and mass.

Another useful method is to sketch out a to-scale floor plan, including walls, walkways, and any existing furniture.

It’s not just about measuring the table itself—you also need to think about how it will function in the space. Ask yourself:

  • Have I left enough room for doors and drawers to open?
  • Will there be enough space for people to push their chairs back comfortably?
  • Can guests move around the table with ease?

Taking the time to plan like this will give you a much clearer picture, helping you choose a table that looks great and works beautifully in your space.

How To Choose The Right-Sized Dining Table – Summary

When selecting a dining table, it's important to consider both its size and how it will function in your space. A great way to visualise this is by marking out the table’s footprint using masking tape or cardboard, or even stacking books or newspapers to gauge its height and presence.

You can also sketch a to-scale floor plan, factoring in walls, walkways, and surrounding furniture. Beyond just measurements, think about practicalities—ensure there’s enough space for chairs to be pulled out, for people to move around comfortably, and for doors and drawers to open easily.

By planning ahead, you’ll be able to choose a dining table that not only looks great but also works perfectly in your home.
