Cantaberry Chair

OVAL & RECTANGULAR TABLES

For any style of table, a 42"W x 60"L size typically seats four people comfortably. A 42"W x 66"L or 42"W x 72"L table will accommodate six people. However, leg tables are more restricted when adding chairs, as the legs occupy the corners, limiting seating capacity at each end.

On a 42"W x 60"L leg table, it’s common to seat only four people; with one person on each side or two people in middle. Depending on the size and positioning of the legs, it may be possible to seat six people, but this is uncommon and often uncomfortable. For six people to sit comfortably around a leg table, the minimum recommended size is 42"W x 66"L, though 42"W x 72"L provides the most space, ensuring enough room for both leg and elbow comfort.

For trestle tables of 42"W x 60"L, four people can sit comfortably, though the design of the trestle base may limit how far the chairs can be pushed in, usually allowing only four chairs to be fully tucked. On this size, the base is shrunken in the center. This means that when the table expands you will need to position the chairs either between the base or straddling the base. A 42"W x 66"L and 72"L share the same base size. This means while a 66"L can sit two people in-between the base in the middle, there is not enough overhang on the ends to push a chair underneath the table top. A 42"W x 72"L trestle table, however, will comfortably seat six people, with all chairs able to be pushed in completely.
