I am starting the design work (in my head, for now) for a new dining table. After a little research, I found the recommended dimensions for seating 8 (three on each side, a person at the head, and a person at the foot):
Width: 40 - 44 inches
Length: 84 - 96 inches
Does this seem reasonable? Just looking for a reality check before I get too carried away.
My other questions are about the base. I am thinking about a double pedestal base. Like this (but a completely different look :laughing
:
How wide should I make the pedestals? How much room should I leave from the base to the end of the table to allow a person to sit at the head or foot?
Thanks!
