Key information to keep in mind when selecting your rectangular iron dining table:
- For a rectangular room, a similar shaped table will maintain visual harmony.
- Standard rectangular dining table measurements range from:
- 28" to 30" | High
- 60" to 80" | Long
- 36" to 42" | Wide or Deep
- Rectangle dining tables work best in larger dining rooms, they will fill the space while accommodating more people than a square or round table.
- Allow a clearance of 42" - 48" between the dining table and the walls or other furniture in the area. This space is required for comfortably sitting at or getting up from the table and walking around it.
- Each person should have 28" - 32" of space. This includes 24" - 28" for the chair and about 4" - 6" between two chairs.
- Make sure your table height allows the arms of dining chairs to slide beneath the top. Also allow an additional 2" of space per seat if you are choosing armchairs.
- A table with a pedestal base rather than legs will seat more people. Generally, a 36" table top with a pedestal base can seat 4 people while a 60" table with a pedestal base will accommodate 6 diners.
- Diners should have 12" - 14" of leg room beneath the table. Using a pedestal allows for more leg room and hence a more comfortable dining experience.
- Include the extended dimensions in planning if you are considering a table with leaves for hosting large groups.
