How Long Are 8 Seater Dining Tables?
Most 8 seater dining tables measure between 200cm and 240cm long, with 220cm by 100cm being the configuration UK homes buy most often. This guide explains how that figure is arrived at, why 60cm to 70cm of table edge per person is the number that really governs comfort, and how two tables both sold as 8 seaters can differ by 40cm.

There is also guidance on how glass, timber, high gloss and marble change how large a table feels, how to choose eight chairs that suit the length, and how to measure your room and delivery route before you commit. It also explains why sizing a table for the rare gathering rather than for daily use is so often regretted....
