Round Dining Tables A 42″ round table can fit four people comfortably. A 48″ round table can seat 4-6 people comfortably. A 60″ round table can seat between 6-8 people comfortably.
Is a 72 inch table too big?
While recommendations vary, a clearance of 36 to 42 inches from table edge to a wall or other furniture allows adequate space for seating plus a walkway behind the diners. Using this guideline, a dining room 10-by-12-feet long accommodates a table 36 to 42 inches wide and 60 to 72 inches long.
