If you have a set amount of space for your dining table, a fixed design can be an excellent choice. You can choose a size and shape that works comfortably without needing room for it to become larger. If you have circulation space for occasional guests, an extending dining table may be worth considering instead.
At Vale Furnishers, you'll find fixed-top versions of many of the extending tables we display, alongside a wide choice of other designs, proportions and materials.
As a guide, allow around 50-60cm of table edge per person when seating people fairly closely together, perhaps for a family gathering. For more comfortable everyday dining, we'd suggest 60-70cm per person, or more if you have the space.
Wider dining chairs, particularly those with arms or swivel mechanisms, may need additional room. You'll also need space to pull out chairs and move around the table.
Think about the width as well as the length. A wider tabletop can leave more room for serving dishes, while a narrower design may work better in a restricted space. Round, rectangular, oval and shaped tables also use the available room differently.
The position of the legs can make a surprising difference to where people can sit. Four-legged tables may allow chairs to tuck neatly underneath, but corner legs can restrict some seating positions.
A central or sculptural base can offer greater flexibility, although its size and shape may affect legroom.
It's worth trying different chairs in the positions where you'll actually sit. At Vale, you're free to mix tables and chairs from different manufacturers.
Wood brings natural warmth and character, while ceramic offers different practical qualities for everyday dining. Most designs are available in alternative sizes, with many also offering different materials and finishes.
If you already know a manufacturer you like, explore our Cattelan Italia fixed dining tables and Porada dining tables.
At Ash Vale, you can compare proportions, bases and finishes alongside different chairs. Bring your room measurements if you'd like help finding the right combination.
