Dining room table size
I'm planning to build a dining room table (rectangular). 80% of the
time it will be used by 2 people, 15% by 3 and 3% by 4 and 2% by 6 (I hope that adds to 100). This means that seating 6 can be "cozy". I'm thinking of a drop leaf on one end. I could go with the leaf up or down for 4. I'd prefer not to go with a removeable centre leaf - I'd rather deal with two pieces of the top rather than 3 since I'm going to be banding the main field with some trim and a similar treatment for the leaf - plus I don't want to have to store it. Any suggestions as to dimensions? Where would the legs best be placed? At the corners of the main piece, or inset? I could go with square - a bit bigger than a card table, and something around a 24 inch leaf, but that sounds too unstable since (seating 6) 3 people would be eating off the unsupported leaf. |

I'm planning to build a dining room table (rectangular). Any suggestions as to dimensions? After measuring a bunch of tables, I finalized on 32x62; which should be comfortable for 6 people (because of a goof on my part, I ended at 31.5x59, but still plenty of room). For the apron, I measured enough room to fit the chairs easily, without banging up the legs (25" per chair, chairs average 15-22" wide). -- McQualude |
