Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 6 seater dining table too big for my room?
A 6 seater table generally needs a room of at least 3m by 3.5m to allow comfortable clearance for chairs to be pulled out and people to walk around, so measure your space carefully before committing. An extendable 6 seater option lets you keep a smaller footprint day to day.
How do I choose between a 6 seater and an 8 seater dining set?
Base the decision on how many people you regularly seat rather than how many you might seat once a year, since an oversized table can dominate a room and make everyday meals feel less cosy. An extendable table is a good middle ground if guest numbers vary.
What's the best shape for a 6 seater dining table?
Rectangular tables are the most common shape for seating six, since they use the room's length efficiently, though a large round or oval table can work well too if the room is more square and you'd prefer a more sociable seating arrangement without a head of the table.
How do I look after a 6 seater dining set with everyday use?
With more people using the table regularly, protecting the surface with coasters, placemats and a tablecloth for messier meals will help it last, and wiping up spills promptly matters even more than with a smaller table. Check the specific care needs for the table's finish and the chair upholstery.
