Many customers have common questions about live edge tables, including how many people can comfortably sit around them. To help with this, we’ve provided some general seating rules for rectangular tables. However, it’s important to note that chair size and desired elbow room can also impact seating capacity. For a table length of 5 feet, you can comfortably seat 4-6 people, while a table length of 6 feet can comfortably seat 6-8 people. A table length of 7 feet can seat 8 people, and 8 feet can seat 8 as well. For a table length of 9 feet, you can comfortably seat 10 people, and for 10 feet, you can seat 10 as well. A table length of 11 feet can comfortably seat 10-12 people, while a table length of 12 feet can seat up to 12 people, or up to 14 with narrower chairs and less elbow room. A table length of 13 feet can seat 12-14 people, while 14-15 feet can seat 14 people or 16 if needed. Finally, a table length of 16 feet can seat 16 people or 18 if needed. If your table is larger than 16 feet, you may need a chef to help serve all your guests!
