Often, a family reunion takes place during meals, and a suitable dining table and chairs are the basic conditions for us to enjoy this happy time. So, how do you choose a dining table and chairs that are suitable for your home? What is the appropriate size of the dining table? Which dining table material is durable? Perhaps these are the issues you are most concerned about before purchasing a dining table and chairs. In the following article, Nanning Zhuangyi.com will share with you the relevant knowledge about home dining tables, so that you can choose a dining table that is suitable for your home.

Dining table purchase question case

A netizen asked: My family has a large dining room, so when choosing a dining table, they decided to buy a larger one. However, some people say that oversized tables and chairs will make people feel uncomfortable. Is there a certain ratio for the size of tables and chairs?

Professional answer: The dining table is a must-have piece of furniture in every family. If you are not prepared to consider the size of the dining table when purchasing it, it will not only affect the overall atmosphere of the restaurant, but also the mood of your family.

So, how should we grasp the size of the dining table?

1. When you go to a furniture store or furniture mall to buy a chair, take off your shoes and try sitting on it; generally speaking, if the chair is more than 45 cm high, it is too high for ladies and shorter people.

2. If the table and chairs are not purchased as a set, a height difference of 27 cm to 30 cm between the chair surface and the table top is generally more appropriate.

Discussion on the size of dining table and chairs

The furniture in the restaurant is mainly dining tables and chairs. The most important thing about a dining table and chairs in a restaurant is the size. If the dining table is high and the dining chairs are not matched, it will make people feel uncomfortable and affect their mood for dining. Generally, the dining table and chairs are determined according to the size of the restaurant space.

However, the country has already set standards for the height of tables and chairs. Among them, the height of table furniture can be 700mm, 720mm, 740mm, and 760mm; the seat height of chairs and stools can be 400mm, 420mm, and 440mm. In addition, the standard size of tables and chairs is also stipulated, and the height difference between tables and chairs should be controlled within the range of 280 to 320mm.

1. Let's discuss the specific dimensions of dining tables and chairs:

1. The standard height of a table should be 720mm, which is the medium height of a table, while the height of a chair is usually 450mm.

2. The most suitable distance between the chandelier and the desktop should be 700mm, which is the ideal distance for the desktop to be fully and evenly illuminated.

3. A table for six people takes up an area of ​​3000*3000mm in the living room. Space should be left for a table with a diameter of 1200mm, and space should be left for people to dine around the table. This solution is suitable for large living rooms with an area of ​​at least 6000*3500.

4. The area occupied by a square dining table that is diagonally facing the wall should be 180*180 square centimeters. This is the minimum area occupied by a square table with a side length of 90 centimeters and the closest distance between the corner of the table and the wall is 40 centimeters.

5. The general size of a six-person dining table and chairs is 1200mm, which is the diameter requirement for a round dining table. 1400*700mm is the size requirement for rectangular and oval dining tables.

6. The dining table should be 800mm away from the wall. This distance includes pulling out the chairs and is the minimum distance that allows diners to move around conveniently.

Second, the correct height of the dining table and chairs should enable people to maintain two basic vertical positions when sitting:

First, when both feet are placed flat on the ground, the thigh and calf can be basically vertical. At this time, the front edge of the seat surface cannot form pressure on the lower plane of the thigh.

Second, when the arms hang down naturally, the upper arm and the forearm are basically vertical, and the height of the table should just touch the lower plane of the forearm. In this way, people can maintain a correct sitting and writing posture. If the height of the table and chair is not matched properly, it will directly affect people's sitting posture and is not good for the health of the user.

3. Dining table size specifications: square dining table size

1. Dining table size specifications: 10-person dining table size

For a large family of 10, the dining table size can be selected to be 2400mm in length, 1200mm in width and 750mm in height. It is both spacious and practical, and does not waste too much space. It is a standard dining table for 10 people.

2. Dining table size specifications: 6-person dining table size

Generally, the length is 1200mm--1500mm, the width is 800mm--900mm, and the height is 750mm. That is, 1200*800 or 1400*800 or 1500*900. The main size is 1400*800, which does not take up too much space and is more suitable for a family of 6.

3. Dining table size specifications for 4 people

You can choose a rectangular one of 800*600 or a square one of 600*600, both with a height of 750mm. Relatively speaking, the square one is more suitable. The size of a dining table for 8 people is 2000*1200, with a height of 750mm.

4. Dining table size specifications: round dining table size

Generally, they are divided into 8 categories. According to the standard size of dining tables, the diameters of these 8 categories of dining tables are 500 mm for two persons, 800 mm for three persons, 900 mm for four persons, 1100 mm for five persons, 1100-1250 mm for six persons, 1300 mm for eight persons, 1500 mm for ten persons, and 1800 mm for twelve persons.

Common dimensions of restaurant furniture:

l. Square table

The commonly used dining table sizes are 760mm x 760mm square tables and 1070mm x 760mm rectangular tables. If the chairs can be inserted under the table, a six-seat table can be placed even in a small corner. When dining, just pull out the table a little. The width of a dining table of 760mm is the standard size, and it should not be less than 700mm at least. Otherwise, when sitting opposite each other, the feet will bump against each other because the table is too narrow. It is best to shrink the legs of the dining table in the middle. If the four legs are arranged at the four corners, it will be very inconvenient. The table height is generally 710mm, with 415mm high chairs. The lower the tabletop is, the clearer the food on the table can be seen when dining.

2. Round Table

If the furniture in the living room and dining room are square or rectangular, the diameter of the round tabletop can be increased from 150mm. In general small and medium-sized houses, if a 1200mm diameter dining table is used, it is often too large. You can customize a 1140mm diameter round table, which can also seat 8-9 people, but looks more spacious. If you use a dining table with a diameter of more than 900mm, although you can seat many people, it is not suitable to place too many fixed chairs. For example, if you put 8 chairs on a 1200mm diameter dining table, it will be very crowded. You can put 4-6 chairs. When there are many people, use folding chairs, which can be stored in the storage room.

3. Open and close table

The foldable table is also called a stretchable table. It can be transformed from a 900mm square table or a 1050mm diameter round table into a 1350-1700mm long table or oval table (available in various sizes). It is very suitable for small and medium-sized units to use on a daily basis and when there are many guests. This type of dining table has been popular since the 15th century and has a history of 500 years. It is a very popular dining table. However, you should pay attention to its mechanical structure. It should be smooth and stable during meetings, and it should be easy to align and close when folding. With a round dining table, you can get better space adjustment. Another advantage of using a round table for dining is that there is a greater tolerance for the number of people sitting. As long as the chairs are pulled away from the tabletop, more people can sit by the fire, and there is no disadvantage of the inconvenience of sitting in the corner when using a square table.

4. A dining table for six people

About 140×70 cm is more suitable. This size is the most suitable for rectangular and oval dining tables. Nowadays, dining rooms are generally rectangular, so square tables and round tables are rarely used. Rectangular six-person dining tables are the most common. If there are not many people in the family, in order to save space, you can buy some retractable dining tables, which usually take up very little space and can be opened when friends come, which is very practical.

5. It is better to keep the dining table about 80 cm away from the wall

This distance includes the minimum distance for pulling out the chairs and making it convenient for diners to move around. Generally, people still hope to have a spacious space when dining, so they can come and go at will. Therefore, if the distance to the wall is too close, it will make dining uncomfortable.

6. The standard height of the dining table is about 72 cm

This is the appropriate height for the table. Generally, the height of a dining chair is 45 cm, which is more comfortable. At present, the height of dining chairs on the market varies a little. When choosing, it is best to try sitting on it first to see if it is suitable for the height of the dining table.

How to determine the size of dining chair?

If the dining chair is too high or too low, you will feel uncomfortable when eating. If the dining chair is too high, such as 400-430mm, it will cause back pain and leg pain (many imported dining chairs are 480mm). It is also not suitable to eat on the sofa. The height of the dining chair is generally about 410mm. The seat and backrest of the dining chair should be straight (even if there is an inclination, 2°-3° is appropriate). The seat cushion is about 20mm thick, and even the bottom plate is no more than 25mm thick. Some dining chairs have 50mm soft cushions and snake-shaped slingshots underneath. Sitting on such dining chairs for eating is not as comfortable as the aforementioned chairs.

Is there a standard size for home dining tables?

The country has already set standards for the height and size of dining tables and chairs. When a person sits on a table and chair of standard height, with both feet flat on the ground, the thigh and calf are basically vertical; when both arms hang naturally, the upper arm and forearm are also basically vertical, and the height of the table just touches the plane of the forearm.

According to the different styles of dining tables, the size of household dining tables is also specified in detail. According to the standard, the standard height of the dining table is between 750-790 mm, while the height of the dining chair is between 450-500 mm. The shapes of domestic dining tables are mainly square tables and round tables. In recent years, oval dining tables have become more and more popular.

Size of square dining table: The size of square dining table varies according to the number of seats. The size of two-person dining table is 700*850 mm (length*width), the size of four-person dining table is 1350*850 mm, and the size of eight-person dining table is 2250*850 mm.

Consumers can choose the appropriate size of the dining table according to the area of ​​their home when purchasing, but the width of the dining table cannot be less than 700 mm, otherwise it is easy for family members to bump into each other's feet when sitting opposite each other because the dining table is too narrow.

Round dining table size: Round dining tables are generally divided into 8 categories. According to the standard size of the dining table, the diameters of these 8 categories of dining tables are 500 mm for two people, 800 mm for three people, 900 mm for four people, 1100 mm for five people, 1100-1250 mm for six people, 1300 mm for eight people, 1500 mm for ten people, and 1800 mm for twelve people. In general small and medium-sized houses, if a dining table with a diameter of 1200 mm is used, it is often too large. You can choose a round table with a diameter of about 1100 mm, which will make the space appear much more spacious.

Details related to dining table size

When considering the size of the dining table, you should also consider the distance between the table and the wall. Generally, it is better to control it at about 80 cm. This distance includes the minimum distance for pulling out the chairs and making it convenient for diners to move around. Generally, people still hope to have a spacious space when dining, and can enter and exit at will. If the distance from the wall is too close, it will make dining uncomfortable, so this factor should be taken into consideration when choosing the size of the dining table.

After reading the above introduction, you will find that the size of the dining table is mainly determined by the living room area and the number of people who often dine at home. Nanning Zhuangyi.com reminds consumers here: it is recommended to increase the number of people who often dine at home appropriately based on the actual number of people in the family to meet the needs of relatives and friends when they come to eat at home. Of course, according to personal preferences and different home decoration styles, you can choose different styles to achieve specific effects

1. Things to note when purchasing a solid wood dining table

1. Solid wood dining tables are not just tables made of one material. There are many types of solid wood. Different materials have different characteristics, and of course, they are also divided into good and bad. So what material is the best solid wood dining table? This requires us to have a certain understanding of the different materials of solid wood. As a piece of furniture with a specific purpose in the specific environment of the restaurant, it is best to choose a material with anti-corrosion, wear-resistant, easy to clean, and heat-resistant properties.

2. Before buying a solid wood dining table, we need to determine how big our dining area is, so that we can better decide the size and shape of the solid wood dining table. Long solid wood dining tables require a larger dining area, and round ones feel relatively smaller. Irregular ones are smaller and more practical for two people, while foldable ones do not have so many requirements and are more flexible.

3. When buying a solid wood dining table, we should also consider the overall style of our restaurant decoration. Due to the special nature of solid wood furniture, people do not process it as complicatedly as other materials. People have always preferred solid wood furniture in its original ecological and natural form.

2. Key points for choosing marble dining table

Marble furniture has become a favorite of many families because of its special texture and cool texture. Especially in the hot summer, marble furniture can bring an extraordinary cool feeling to the home, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Many people prefer marble dining tables, so what is the correct way to choose marble dining tables?

1. Choose the right level

According to the allowable deviation of the size, the allowable tolerance of the flatness and angle, as well as the appearance quality, surface finish and other indicators, marble slabs are divided into three grades: superior, first-class and qualified; the grading and identification of marble slabs are mainly identified through the detection of instruments and measuring tools.

2. Check the appearance quality

The appearance of marble slabs of different grades is different. Because marble is formed naturally, defects are inevitable. At the same time, the quality of processing equipment and measuring tools is also the cause of slab defects. Some slabs are not full (warping or denting), have defects (cracks, sand holes, color spots, etc.), and have different specifications (such as missing edges and corners, irregular slabs). According to national standards, marble slabs of all grades are allowed to have certain defects, but the superior products are not so obvious.

3. Choose the pattern color

Marble slabs are colorful, with various tones and different patterns, which is the charm of marble slabs. The basic consistency of tones, small color difference and beautiful patterns are the specific manifestations of good varieties, otherwise it will seriously affect the decorative effect.

4. Detect surface gloss

The glossiness of marble slabs will greatly affect the decorative effect. Generally speaking, the polished surface of high-quality marble slabs should have a mirror-like gloss, which can clearly reflect the scenery. However, due to the different chemical compositions of marbles of different qualities, even products of the same grade can have very different glossiness. Of course, the surface glossiness of slabs of the same material and different grades will also have certain differences. In addition, the strength and water absorption rate of marble slabs are also important indicators for evaluating the quality of marble.

3. Things to note when buying a glass dining table

In recent years, glass dining tables have gradually become popular. They are particularly favored by people because of their clear, transparent, crystal-like, and colorful qualities. However, the unfavorable properties of glass itself, such as fragility, hardness, and heat resistance, also pose certain potential threats, so you must be careful when purchasing a glass dining table. The following is an introduction to some tips on how to choose a glass dining table.

1. Look at the appearance

The glass used in the glass dining table must be tempered glass. The strength of tempered glass is several times higher than that of ordinary glass. The bending strength is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary glass, and the impact strength is 5 to 10 times that of ordinary glass. After being broken, tempered glass will be small fragments without sharp angles, which ensures its safety. The flatness, transparency and smoothness of the appearance also reflect the quality of the glass. Place a white paper with text on the bottom of the glass and see whether the text can be clearly seen from the front to judge its transparency; touch the table with your hand and there should be no obvious obstruction. Such glass is smooth and flawless.

2. Firmness

For tables with steel-wood base frames or brackets, it is necessary to ensure that there is no desoldering, cold welding, or cracks in the welding, no loosening of screws or rivets, and the connection between the steel pipe frame and the solid wood legs must be firm. Especially for dining chairs, which are frequently used, you should pay attention to the materials and splicing methods of the chairs when purchasing. Generally speaking, the traditional mortise and tenon structure is more solid. In addition, dining chairs made of elm, beech and other woods as brackets are more solid and durable. This point must be paid attention to when choosing to ensure the durability of the glass dining table.

3. Humanized design

Attention should also be paid to humanized treatment of some details: the edge sealing and grinding of the countertop should be straight, smooth and without blunt angles, the surface of the glass dining table should be free of scratches and missing corners, etc. If consumers need it, they can also consider the combination changes of the dining table, the countertop turntable, storage space and so on.

4. Size standards

Industry standards stipulate that the height of the dining table is 680mm-760mm; the seat height of the dining chair is 400mm-440mm; the seat height of the soft chair is 400mm-460mm, and the inner width of the armrest of the armchair is greater than or equal to 460mm. Use a steel tape measure or steel ruler with an error of no more than ±0.6mm per meter to measure the test piece placed on the inspection plate or flat ground. These standards can be used as a reference for purchasing glass dining tables.

Dining tables should be common in every family, but some families' dining tables are not suitable for their own homes, but in order to save money and not waste furniture, they just use it as it is. This requires us to learn about the selection of dining tables and chairs before decoration, and then choose according to the size of our own restaurant, so that it will be easier to choose the dining table and chairs that are suitable for our home. I hope that the above sharing on Nanning Zhuangyi.com will be helpful to your purchase.
