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??

I still have concerns about stability with the slide-out extension. Visually, however, I really like the Team7 models mylon and magnum. The space for an alternative large table without an extension has already been marked. My first impression is that 240cm (94 inches) would fit well.
Well, the move is next week. Since the furniture purchase was initially postponed due to COVID and then just wasn’t enjoyable, we’re bringing the current 180cm (71 inches) table for now. This way, we can start to get a better everyday sense of the space. Basically, the furnishing is a work in progress.
You can tell I’m trying to convince myself that holding back on furniture purchases so far is a good thing—by the way, not only with the dining table.

We are having a custom table made. Chalet Model P with Ultra Light U-frame 2.40 m (7 ft 10 in) x 1 m (3 ft 3 in) + 2 extension leaves I really like that one! May I ask where you got the custom piece with the additional leaves?

I think many people picture those cheap Poco sliding tables. Our table, fully extended, is so stable that I would stand on it—and I’m quite a heavy guy. It has proper ball bearings on rails.You’re absolutely right. When I think of an extendable table, I also picture that flimsy chipboard you can’t lean on. Maybe it’s worth giving these another chance.
Here we have a HülstaNow ET-17 in (3x without offset) natural oak and stainless steel frame. 240x100cm (94x39 inches). It’s very generous for two people per side lengthwise, which was intentional because armchairs with armrests are placed there. I really dislike dining chairs without armrests; that gets annoying over time and is often the result of too little space per person at the table. For three people per side, the table legs—which are more like sled-style bases—are positioned less favorably. But I do like the look.
About 20 people have “dined” there more or less simultaneously, using @ypg’s strategy, which I highly recommend, at least for large family meals. If you prefer candlelight dinners, you’re probably looking for a different solution.
Around €1400 (please share prices for your exquisite custom pieces).

Team7 doesn’t ring a bell for me. How expensive are their tables approximately?At least in the past, Team7 made absolutely high-quality wooden furniture and kitchens, basically without using any metal, so truly excellent craftsmanship. The prices are definitely premium, sometimes equivalent to the cost of a used compact car, but the quality is excellent.
