Find Your Perfect Fit: Table Sizing Guide.
-
Knowing what size is right for your space can be tough. Follow these simple steps and you'll be sure to get a size that compliments your space perfectly.
-
Step 1: Precisely Measure Your Area.
To ensure your new Timberline Woodworks table fits perfectly and flows beautifully within your home, accurately measure your dining space. Whether you're considering the distance from wall to wall, from a kitchen island to a cozy couch, or simply outlining your designated dining area, carefully note both the length and width. Don't hesitate to share these dimensions with us; our team is always ready to help you determine the ideal table size for your unique space!

Step 2: Optimizing Your Dining Layout
With your room's dimensions in hand, a simple calculation will help you determine the perfect table size. We generally recommend allowing at least 36 inches (3 feet) of clearance between your table and any surrounding walls or furniture. This vital space ensures comfortable seating, allows chairs to be pulled out easily, and provides ample room for guests to walk around.
To find the absolute largest table that will fit in your space, simply subtract 72 inches (6 feet) from both your room's length and width. For dining areas that experience higher foot traffic, we personally recommend extending this clearance to 42 inches (3.5 feet) to enhance comfort and improve overall flow.

Step 3: Optimizing Table Width for Your Dimensions.
You've now determined the maximum possible table size for your space. However, keep in mind that this calculated maximum is a guideline, not necessarily the actual dimension you'll choose for your ideal table.
For comfortable seating and movement in a more restricted area, we highly recommend our 33-inch wide option, which perfectly accommodates one person at each end. If your space allows and you enjoy serving meals family-style directly on the table, our 44-inch wide option is an excellent and most popular choice. While it can snugly accommodate two people at each end for occasional larger gatherings, it offers generous room for daily use.
For any other dimensions, we are pleased to offer custom orders! Please don't hesitate to reach out to our team; we would be delighted to help you design a table that perfectly fits your unique needs and space.

Step 4: Finding Your Ideal Table Length

Use this guide to determine the ideal Timberline Woodworks table length based on your typical gathering size. These are general recommendations designed to provide ample elbow room, ensuring everyone can enjoy the meal comfortably.
4 People: A 5-foot table offers a cozy and intimate setting.
