Dining Table Size, Rectangular
It is important to choose the right size when it comes to dining tables. If a dining table is too small, it will be uncomfortable for the guests. And if it is too big, it will feel naked.
There are two main categories of dining tables: rectangular dining tables and round dining tables. In this page, you can determine sizes for rectangular dining tables. See also our size chart for round dining tables.
