Is Your Table Big Enough?
by Wen Zientek-Sico
Ever wonder how many people you can comfortably...or not so comfortably squeeze onto your dining room table for a sit down dinner or buffet? Let this handy tool break down the numbers for you.
Is Your Table Big Enough?
Use this handy chart to determine how many guests your table can seat comfortably, and the numbers it can seat in a pinch. All of these numbers are averages and many factors may affect these numbers. Things like the size of your chairs, the size of your guests, the size and formality of your dinnerware, the amount of food you are planning on including on the table, and any abnormal limitations of your table or room would cause the number of people comfortably seated to lower.
