Square Dining Tables

A square dining table seats 4 in proper comfort and 8 if pushed - the most space-efficient shape for dinner conversation since everyone sits the same distance from the centre. Standard square dining tables run 80x80cm (small kitchen, seats 2-4), 100x100cm (household standard, seats 4), 120x120cm (seats 6 with squeeze, 4 with elbow room), and 150x150cm (seats 8 in proper comfort). Aosom UK, Cheaper-Online.co.uk and Cherry Lane Garden Centres between them cover £30-£3,153 across the range. Square tables suit square dining rooms; in long narrow rooms a rectangular table reads more naturally. Pedestal-base square tables (one central column to the floor) suit smaller rooms because chairs can tuck under from any side; four-leg square tables work in larger rooms but constrain seating where the legs sit. Most square dining tables don't extend; if the household needs 6-8 seating regularly, a rectangular extending table is the better practical buy.
