One of the most important considerations is how and where will you use your table? If your table is an extension of your kitchen or family room, chances are you\u2019ll use it more often, such as for food prep, homework or crafts. You\u2019ll want something that\u2019s more casual in style with a durable surface that won\u2019t damage easily.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-142 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.gracefurniture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2018\/11\/Canadel-Champlain-collection-2-600x300-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"187\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Size<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so important to have a table and chairs that are comfortable and fit the scale of the room. Think like Goldilocks. You don\u2019t want a table that\u2019s too large or too small. If you follow our basic measurement guidelines, you\u2019ll find a table sized just right for your dining room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allow 24\u2033 between the table and wall so people can easily sit down and get up from the table<\/li>\n<li>Allow 38\u2033 between the table and wall if people are going to walk behind the table<\/li>\n<li>Plan for 24\u2033 for each place setting so people can comfortably eat without hitting elbows<\/li>\n<li>The maximum width of a table should be 48\u2033 \u2013 any more space and your guests can\u2019t pass things across the table and conversation becomes strained<\/li>\n<li>The minimum width of a table should be 36\u2033 \u2013 any less width and you will have difficulty placing serving pieces in the middle of the table<\/li>\n<li>If space allows, base your size table on the number of persons you usually have for dinner then add two.
