Selecting the Ideal Size
The size of your dining table is crucial for both functionality and visual balance. To determine the right size, measure your dining room carefully, taking into account the available space and the number of guests you typically host.
Standard Dining Table Sizes in the UK:
4 seater dining table: Length 75cm - 90cm x Width 75cm - 90cm
6 seater dining table: Length 150cm - 180cm+ x Width 75cm - 90cm
