A round dining table suits a square breakfast nook because the distance from each seat to the center is similar. An oval dining table stretches the gathering along a longer room without putting a sharp corner in the walkway. Compare the Velora Round Dining Table with the Velora Oval Dining Table to see how much of that choice is about the outline, not just the length.
How do you tell how many chairs will fit around a dining table?
Measure the clear span between table legs or supports and compare it with the actual width of your chairs. At the ends, check knee room under the top. A generous tabletop can still have a base that puts a leg exactly where you want a chair.
For an open-plan dining room, mark both the table and a pulled-out chair on the floor. Walk behind the chair from the kitchen before settling on a size. Pair the table with Universal dining armchairs and side chairs.
