Dining Table for 8 People - Which Size Do You Need?

A dining table for 8 people is ideal for large families and anyone who loves having a full table. But which size do you need to seat eight people comfortably? This guide will help you get started.

Which size for 8 people?

Allow about 60 cm of table width per person. For eight people that comes to a length of 240 to 280 cm, with a width of 90 to 100 cm. The most popular size is a dining table of 260 x 100 cm.

Oval dining table for 8 people

An oval dining table of 240 to 260 cm seats eight people, and it's easy for someone to slide in at the soft ends.

Round dining table for 8 people

For a round dining table seating eight you need a diameter of roughly Ø 160 cm - sizeable, but very cosy because everyone faces each other.

How much room do you need?

Keep at least 90 to 100 cm free all around. For a 260 x 100 cm dining table that means a dining room of about 440 x 280 cm or larger. Tighter on space? Then look at the sizes for a dining table for 6 people.
