FAQ About Finding the Right-Sized Table to Seat Eight

What are the typical dimensions of a square table that seats eight people comfortably?

Square tables that seat eight typically range from 48” to 54”. This size provides ample space for each guest while maintaining a cozy atmosphere.
 

How much space should I allocate around a square table seating eight for comfortable dining?

Typically, we advise placing the dining table with a clearance of at least three feet from the wall, though four feet is optimal. A minimum of 2.5 feet should be considered as the absolute minimum distance. Therefore, if you want to buy a square dining table to seat eight people, the room would ideally be at least 9x9 to best facilitate movement around the table. 
 

I don’t have the space to buy a square table large enough to seat eight guests. What are ways I can fit more people for special occasions? 
 

  • Utilize Expansion Leaves - The good news is that the majority of Countryside Amish Furniture’s tables (square or not) can be ordered with expansion leaves that will temporarily add additional length.
     
  • Give each guest slightly less space - Though not ideal, consider placing dining settings closer together to maximize seating space without overcrowding guests. Two tricks for doing this? Opt for benches or to purchase chairs without side-arms rather than with! 
     
  • Skip centerpieces - Free up valuable space on the square table by foregoing traditional centerpieces.
