Choosing the dining table that’s right for you begins with knowing how many people will be using it regularly.

Tables for two: 70 – 120 cm in length

Tables that aren’t longer than 120 cm are ideal for a breakfast for one or a cosy dinner date. The usual calculation of space per person is 70 cm x 40 cm.

Tables for four: 120 – 170 cm in length

Tables for six: 200 – 220 cm in length

You’ll need a table that’s at least 200 cm in length if you’re planning to host six guests. Any smaller and your dinner party might turn out a bit too cosy. If you usually host fewer than six guests, a 180 cm table is large enough.
