Will a 4-seat or 6-seat dining table fit? Measure the space behind the chairs
Rectangular 4-seat tables are commonly about 120–150 × 75–90 cm (47–59 × 30–35 in). Six-seat tables are about 160–200 × 80–90 cm (63–79 × 31–35 in). These are typical retail ranges, not a standard.
A top that fits is not a table you can sit at. We pulled each chair out, seat front level with the table edge, and measured from the chair back (45 × 52 cm) to the wall.
20-ping 2-bedroom: dining area about 2.70 × 2.94 m
A ping is a Taiwanese area unit, about 3.31 m². Living and dining areas are open. The table stays where the template puts it.
| 4-seat, 140 × 80 cm | 6-seat, 180 × 90 cm | |
|---|---|---|
| Upper row: chair back to partition wall | about 42 cm (17 in) | about 37 cm (15 in) |
| Lower row: chair back to outer wall | about 68 cm (27 in) | about 63 cm (25 in) |
| Left end to back of sofa | about 77 cm (30 in) | about 57 cm (22 in) |
| Right end to kitchen wall | about 100 cm (39 in) | about 80 cm (31 in) |
Move the table down 13 cm and both rows match: about 55 cm each for the 4-seat table, 50 cm for the 6-seat.
20-ping 3-bedroom: one row against the wall
This dining area is about 2.54 × 2.40 m. In the template position, the row against the outer wall has 13 cm (5 in) behind it with the 6-seat table, and 18 cm (7 in) with the 4-seat. There is no room to sit down.
To leave 60 cm behind that row, move the table down 42 cm (4-seat) or 47 cm (6-seat). The other row then reaches about 4 or 14 cm into the passage to the bathroom.
Try your own dining area
1. Open the 3D layout tool. Upload your plan or pick a template.
2. Switch to "Top". Type your table size into W and D. Add a "Chair", resize it, and drag its seat front to the table edge.
3. Use "Measure" from the chair back to the wall. It snaps to wall center lines, so subtract half a wall thickness.
