If you’re planning to comfortably seat 8 to 10 guests at a rectangular table, here are a few recommended size options:

8' x 30" Rectangular – seats 8 to 10

8' x 36" Rectangular – seats 8 to 10

8' x 42" Rectangular – seats 8 to 10

For the 36" and 42" wide tables, you can typically seat four guests on each long side and one guest at each end, depending on your place setting layout. We recommend allowing at least 15 inches between each place setting to ensure guests have enough personal space and don’t feel crowded.  

Keep in mind that some of our specialty chair styles, have wider backs. When using these, it’s a good idea to allow for a bit of additional room to maintain comfort and flow around the table.

These seating recommendations apply to both standard 8-foot rectangular tables and clothless 8-foot rectangular tables.
