While dining table height is important, width and length are also crucial factors to consider when choosing a dining table size. These two aspects impact how your room looks and how comfortable eating at your table will be.
The table width – which is measured along the “head” of the table – impacts how easy it is to pass food around and how many platters or serving pieces can fit along the centerline of the table. To easily pass food across the table, the width should be no more than 48". However, if you have a sideboard or buffet table, and will only have place settings on the table, you can choose a narrower table that is as small as 30" wide.
For guests to eat comfortably (and avoid bumping elbows), each guest should have 24"–26" of horizontal space. To steer clear of dings and scratches, keep 6" between chairs. If you are buying chairs separately, knowing the table's length will also help you know how many chairs can fit at your table. Just remember that the legs of the table may take away a few inches on each side.
