make the round table a splitter if possible. A flat board for filler.
3 parts. 2 half moons and one rect.
tracks underside. pull and push method.
that way the table can be bigger if needed.

Tator,

I built a round table for my family of seven. It did not have a leaf, but it was 60" diameter and we fit around that with room to spare. We sat 10 at it occasionally, but a 5' table will fit 6-8 comfortably, unless you've got some petty large people.

So if you're putting a leaf in, I would guess that a 54" round would seat 6 quite well, and with the leaf, you can add more, dependent on the size of your leaf and of your people. And your opening mechanism.

For six people 44" would be on the minimum side and 48" plus is more acceptable.

Hi Tator

Our dining table is 52 inches in diameter. It has four legs, rather than a pedestal, and comfortbly seats four in the round. The single leaf is 24 inches wide, and with it in place the table will comfortably seat six. A single pedestal design might seat six comfortably, in the round, but might not be as stable when extended. I have seen designs that look like a single pedestal, but when you extend the table the pedestal splits in half for the extra stability.
