How do I choose the right size table?

How big should my table be?

A rectangular table is the most common table shape, but how many people actually fit around the table? We have created a size chart for this to give you a direction. Are you planning to place the table against a wall; then take into account a reduction in the seating areas on that side.

Size chart straight table

  • 160x90cm table 4-6 people
  • 180x90cm table 6-8 people
  • 200x90cm table 8 people
  • 220x90cm table 8-10 people
  • 240x90cm table 10 people
  • 260x100cm table 10-12 people
  • 280x100cm table 10-12 people
  • 300x100cm table 12 people

NB! The above dimensions are "standard" sizes. Longer tables are often also made narrower for a cozier appearance.

How big should my round table be?

A round table gives a special and cozy atmosphere to your space, but how many people actually fit around the table? We have created a size chart for this to give you a direction.

Round table size chart

  • ø120cm round table 4 persons
  • ø130cm round table 4-5 persons
  • ø140cm round table 5-6 persons
  • ø150cm round table 6-7 persons
  • ø160cm round table 7-8 persons
  • ø170cm round table 8-9 persons
  • ø180cm round table 10 persons

NB! A round table "grows" quickly in relation to its diameter. As a calculation example; from 120cm to 140cm gives about 35% more leaf surface!
