What size dining table seats your guests, and whether it fits the room.
How this works
Allow 60 cm of table edge per person, plus about 20 cm at each end when someone sits there. Round tables need a circumference of 60 cm per person. Keep 90 cm from the table edge to the wall so chairs can pull out, or 110 cm if people walk behind seated guests.
