How to choose a rectangular dining table

Start with seats. Allow about 24 inches of table edge per person. A 47 to 60 inch table seats four, 70 to 79 inches seats six, and 86 inches or more seats six with elbow room or eight with chairs at the ends. Rectangles seat the most people for the floor space, and a long side can push against a wall or bench when you need the room.

Then fit it to the room. Leave about 36 inches behind each chair so people can sit down and walk past. For a 70-inch table that is about 30 inches wide, that works out to a dining area of roughly 12 by 9 feet. In a narrower room, choose a narrower table rather than a shorter one.

Look at the legs. Four corner legs give the most stability but limit where chairs go. Trestle, cross and pedestal bases free up the ends and corners, so you can fit an extra chair. Check the apron height too, since armchairs need room to slide under it.

Ceramic and faux marble tops resist heat and stains. Solid walnut and rubberwood wear in with use. For a table that grows for holidays, see extendable dining tables, and pair any table with dining chairs and benches. Every order ships free within the continental U.S., and white glove delivery with assembly is a flat $150 at checkout.

Frequently asked questions

How many people does a rectangular table seat?
Allow about 24 inches per person. A 47 to 60 inch table seats four, 70 to 79 inches seats six, and 86 inches or more seats six to eight.
How much room do I need around a dining table?
Leave about 36 inches between the table edge and the wall or furniture behind each chair, so chairs pull out and people can walk past.
Can I use a bench with a rectangular table?
Yes. A bench on one long side seats more people in less space and slides under the table when it is not in use.
Which tops resist stains and heat?
Ceramic and faux marble tops resist heat and stains and wipe clean. Solid wood looks warmer and needs coasters and quick cleanup after spills.
Do any rectangular tables extend?
Yes. Several extend with a leaf, and you can browse them all in the extendable dining tables collection.
Is white glove delivery available?
Yes, for a flat $150 at checkout. The crew delivers, unpacks, carries up to two flights of stairs, places it in your room of choice, assembles it and takes the packaging away.
