Hello dear forum,
we can’t decide whether to choose the dining table measuring 2 m x 1 m (6.6 ft x 3.3 ft) or 2.20 m x 1 m (7.2 ft x 3.3 ft).
We would actually prefer if there were 3 chairs on each side and none at the head or foot of the table. However, the chairs can’t be pushed under the table because the table legs get in the way. That’s why we’re unsure if the table with the chairs will take up too much space. The chairs are 60 cm (24 inches) deep. The table is positioned so the chairs are on the west and east sides.
What do you think??

If there isn’t enough space, there’s a separate kids’ table. I mentioned the kids’ table in my post:

In my experience, the kids never minded sitting at a separate coffee table… "

at least staying seated on their butts for that short period. There’s nothing more annoying " Exactly!
But what’s even more annoying are adults who make a big deal out of missing seats at family gatherings in their usual setting and insist on discussing it endlessly. It doesn’t always have to be the way “we’ve always done it”; good alternatives can be found.
I think the best option is an extendable table... This way, you can keep everything neatly arranged for everyday use, and when you have large gatherings, there is enough space to add extra chairs.
In general, I find it difficult when chairs don’t fit under the table... no matter where I am, I always push my chair in, as I think it looks tidier.

We have 2.4m x 1.1m (7 ft 10 in x 3 ft 7 in).
10 people no problem.
12 people a bit cozy.
14 people – hopefully the kids will get up soon. Next time they’ll have their own table – they’re old enough. Ha – and if two neighborhood kids or Jehovah’s Witnesses ring the doorbell, you’re in trouble with your tiny table.
