How big should a circular dining table be to seat 4, 6 or 8 people?

Answer 1

Each person requires at least a 24 inches for eating space. This means a 3 ft diameter table will fit 4 people, 4 ft for 6 people and 5 ft for 8 people.

That is a bit crowded though, so I would shoot for 30 inches instead. That would mean you should have 3.5 foot diameter table for 4 people, 5 ft for 6 and 6.5 ft for 8.

The first paragraph is the minimum, the second would be more comfortable.

Answer 2

6 Seat Round Dining Table

Answer 3

You'll need 2 feet of distance on the table circumference per person. To seat 4, it'll be 8 ft; 6:12 ft and 8: 16 ft.

From the formula c=3.1416 d where c is the circumference and d is the diameter; we have d= c/3.1416 or:

- For 4 people 8/3.1416 = 2.55 ft or 2ft 7 inches in diameter for the table


- For 6 people: 12/3.1416= 3.8 ft or 3 ft 10 inches in diameter

-For 8 people: 16/3.1416= 5.1 ft or 5 ft 2inches.

Those are theoretical figures. Normally , you'll need more if you considered leg room. So perhaps, you can have a 3 ft table for 4, a 4'6" table for 6 and a 6 ft table for 8.

Answer 4

A few years ago I lived in a place where there was a 48" diameter circular dining table.
It seated four persons with lots of room to spare.
It also seated six persons but you had to be careful sitting by the legs of the table.

Answer 5

A 60 diameter table seats 8 adults. A 39-42" seats 4 adults. So six is in there somewhere........maybe a 48" plus could seat 6?

Answer 6

3' Dia for 4, 4.5' dia for 6 and 6' Diameter for 8 people is standard as Dining Table.

Answer 7

Minimum 3ft diameter for four people (although that doesn't leave much leg room under the table), 4ft for six people, and 5.5ft for 8 people. But a foot more is better if you want plenty of elbow room.

Answer 8

I'd say go with the woodworking answer - sounds more than sensible. And check out this store http://www.gothamnottinghill.com/html/about.php as they had a really nice one in white marble. It's in Notting Hill here in London, not sure there's a picture of it on this site, but have a weird feeling that you might be able to walk down to check it out.

Answer 9

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/w4Roj
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Answer 10

First, you'll need the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is: Circumference=2(pi)r Your table is 6.28 feet, so, 6.28=2(pi)r r=1 Your radius is 1 foot. Diameter is 2r, so 2(1)=2. Your diameter is 2 feet.
