Tables For Every Room

Tables For Every Room — Sized By The People Around Them

A table is measured by who sits at it, not by its top: allow about 24 inches of edge per diner and 36 inches of clearance behind each chair. A table that fits the floor but not the chairs is the most common dining-room mistake. Measure the room with the chairs pulled out.

Seat the family at our dining tables, set the living room around a cocktail table, or take a meal outside on an iron table. In the hall, a narrow console holds keys and post without blocking the door.
