It is recommended that the present table Width from 91cm to 1.06m. Narrower rectangles can work well in small rooms, but ones smaller than 91cm are not recommended, as it can be difficult to adjust cutlery to either side and position food.

If you prefer a narrower design, consider placing the meal on a sideboard or buffet table so guests can help themselves before sitting down.

square tables

Much like a rectangular one in almost all of its attributes, visually the oval piece appears to take up less space due to the rounded corners, but this also means it has less surface area. Consider this piece of furniture if you have a tighter or smaller space and ultimately need to receive more people.
