A standard-sized wood dining table can typically seat four to eight people comfortably. A 48-inch round table seats four, while a 60-inch round can seat six. Rectangular tables around six feet long accommodate six, and eight feet long fit eight guests. Table width should be at least 36 inches to allow room for place settings and dishes. Consider room size, leaving around 36 inches of clearance on all sides for ease of movement. If space allows, extendable tables offer flexibility, seating more guests when needed without taking up extra space daily.
