Choosing a suitable table for the kitchen is not a difficult task at first glance.

We have prepared simple instructions with which you can easily choose the product you need.

Calculate table dimensions

They depend on the number of family members and how often you have guests. If you like to gather with a large group, plan additional seats.

How much space do you need per person?

A large plate, cutlery and glass occupy an area on the table that is approximately 55 cm long and 35 cm wide - use these numbers as a guide if you choose a table for a tight fit. To sit comfortably at the table and not jostle your elbows.

The width and length of the table are at the discretion of each manufacturer. Here, the shape of the tabletop determines how many people will sit at one or another model.

Square table - seats from two (when placed in a corner) to four (in the center of the room) people. So that two people can sit side by side

Rectangular table - can accommodate from four to 12 people and is suitable for a kitchen of any size (the main thing is to choose a product of suitable dimensions). If necessary, it can be placed either in the center of the room or against the wall, and even in the corner to save space.

The disadvantages of rectangular tables include the sharp corners of the product - if necessary, it will not be possible to make a seat there, and besides, they are dangerous for small children. Families with children are better off choosing tables with rounded edges.

Oval table - seats four to 10 people and is almost as comfortable as a rectangular table. And thanks to the absence of corners, it can accommodate even more people and is suitable for families with small children. True, placing an oval table against a wall or in a corner will not work; it can only be placed in the center.
