Dining Tables

Dining-table planning needs space for people as well as the tabletop. Mark the table footprint, check the leg positions and add the depth of chairs or benches when they are pulled out for use. Extendable and folding designs should be measured in every intended configuration. A table that fits neatly when empty can still make a room difficult to move through once it is in use.

Allow space beyond the tabletop

Compare table dimensions and leg positions, then add chair depth and circulation space. Folding and extendable designs should be checked in every intended configuration.

For extending designs, use our extendable dining table guide to measure both table sizes and chair clearance.
