So remember to bring along your floor plan and measurements during shopping.

Numbers - decide how many people you can seat. Each person will requires about 60cm in width. Leave about 10 - 15cm in between.
Clearance - keep the table at least 60 cm away from the wall on all sides so getting in and out is easy.
