A dining table that seats six comfortably typically measures six feet in length for a rectangular shape or fifty four inches diameter if round. Allow thirty six inches of clearance around the table to accommodate chairs and walking space. For example, in a nine by eleven foot dining nook, a thirty six by seventy two inch rectangular table needs a chandelier height around thirty to thirty four inches above the tabletop to avoid obstruction. Test table footprints with tape measure and leave enough walkways for traffic flow to meet both function and comfort.
