Best Answer

A minimum of 76" to 80" wide, to give servers ample room to serve, and guests ample room to eat without keeping their elbows to their sides. It's OK to have a " kids table" for the 8 and unders. Kids are more aware of the social order nowadays, and I think any older than this would resent it.

8 feet would be the minimum length I would recommend. If you want a comfortable setting, go for 10 feet or more.

What size should a dining table be to comfortably seat 8 people?

An average person can sit comfortably with about a foot of room on either side of their arms and legs. Seating 8 People comfortable, you have to think about how big each chair is on the round side.

What size dining room table will seat 10 people?

It depends on the shape of the table. A square table about 6' on each side would easily seat 10, 5' would be possible but probably not comfortably. A round 8' diameter table would work. A banquet table 2.5 X 10 will seat 10 with 4 on each side and one on each end.

What size round table is needed to seat 10 people?

When planning how many people you are able to seat at a round table, the following are event industry standards: 30" table=2-4 people 36" table=4-5 people 48" table=6-8 people 54" table=8-9 people 60" table=8-10 people 66" table=9-11 people 72" table=10-12 people If you'd like to be more specific, or are using nonstandard sized tables, a good rule of thumb is to allow 18-24 inches of linear space per person. Based on the number of people you are seating at the table, calculate the total amount of linear inches you'll need per table, then divide that number by Pi (3.14) to figure the diameter of the table you will need. For example, here is the calculation for the size of a round table for 10 people: 10 guests x 21 inches per guest = 210 total linear inches 210 total linear inches / 3.14 = 66.88 inches in diameter Based on this calculation, you will need a table that is at least 66.88 inches in diameter to seat 10 people, allowing 21 inches for each seat. For an accurate estimate, be sure to consider are the width of the chairs you'll be using. Metal folding chairs are typically 17-19 inches wide, while rental ballroom chairs are only 16.3 inches wide. Another consideration is the place setting you'll be using at each seat. If it is an elaborate place setting with a charger and multiple pieces of flatware, then calculate the space needed per person accordingly.
