Round dining table for 4 people - which diameter is ideal?

Round dining table for 4 people: choosing the right size

A round dining table for 4 people is ideal for a compact dining room or a family of four. Thanks to the round shape everyone fits comfortably, and there is no "bad" seat at the table - everyone sits equally close to the others. For a round dining table for 4 people you need a diameter of at least 110 cm.

What size is a round dining table for 4 people?

The minimum size for a comfortable round dining table for 4 people is 110 cm in diameter. Want extra space and like a bit more elbow room? Then go for 120-130 cm. The rule here: bigger is always nicer to sit at.

Calculation tip: 55 cm per person

As a rule of thumb, allow 55 cm of table edge per person. With 4 people and 55 cm per chair, the circumference of your table is at least 220 cm - which corresponds to a diameter of about 70 cm. But then it is too tight. Also factor in the depth of a plate (25-30 cm) and you quickly arrive at 110-120 cm as a comfortable minimum size for a round dining table for 4 people.

Material: oak, walnut or ceramic?

For a round dining table, oak and walnut are the most popular choices. Solid oak is robust and warm - it gets more beautiful with the years. Walnut gives a darker, more luxurious look. Ceramic is the easiest to maintain and heat-resistant.
