The Right Size Dining Table For Your Space


Seating Capacity
Choosing the perfect dining table is not just about style, but also about space. An oversized table can make a room feel cramped, while an undersized one may not meet your hosting needs. At Urbis Concepts, we believe in creating wood furniture pieces that are a perfect fit for your space. In this guide, we'll explore how to measure your dining area effectively, determine the right table size, and consider other vital elements to ensure your hardwood dining table becomes a cherished centerpiece.

  • We generally recommend having 24"/seated person. You can go lower but it starts getting tight and you might touch elbows with your neighbor.
  • We recommend having at least 6 Inches between chairs

Measuring Your Dining Space:


  1. The Basics of Measuring: Begin by measuring the length and width of the space where the table will be placed.
  2. Clearance Is Key: Always ensure there's at least a 3-foot clearance on each side of the table. This ensures guests can easily move around without bumping into walls or other furniture.
  3. Furniture Footprint: Take note of other furniture pieces in the room. It's essential they don't obstruct the dining table or its accessibility.
