Room Measurement

Choosing the right dining room furniture can be so exciting! It's essential to think about the size of your space to determine the size of the dining table that will fit. Make sure to leave enough space around your furniture so everyone can feel comfortable and enjoy gatherings. A good rule is to allow at least 3’ (feet) of space between the walls or walkways and the table. This way, it’s easy for everyone to move around and pull out their chairs!

Here’s a quick formula we use at AFW to calculate the maximum size of your dining table:
