What size is a 6-seater garden dining table?

A 6-seater garden table typically measures 140-160cm diameter for round tables, or 150-180cm long by 90-100cm wide for rectangular designs. These dimensions provide comfortable dining space for six adults with room for serving dishes. Including chair clearance, plan for a patio area of at least 2.5m x 2.5m.

Should I choose a round or rectangular 6-seater dining set?

Round tables encourage conversation as everyone faces inward with no 'head' positions, ideal for social garden dining. Rectangular tables fit better against walls or in narrow patios and are easier to extend for extra seats. Consider your patio shape and entertaining style when deciding—both options are equally popular.

Do 6-seater rattan dining sets include a Lazy Susan?

Some 6-seater sets include an integrated or separate Lazy Susan rotating serving tray, particularly within our Marseille and premium dining collections. If not included, Lazy Susans can be purchased separately in rattan-effect and wooden finishes. Round tables of 150cm diameter or more accommodate Lazy Susans best without crowding the dining surface.

Will a 6-seater garden dining set fit through my garden gate?

Yes, almost certainly. Our 6-seater sets arrive flat-packed with the longest components typically around 100-150cm in length. Standard UK garden gates are 90-100cm wide, sufficient for flat-packed furniture carried at an angle. Once in your garden, you assemble the set in situ.

How much space do I need around a 6-seater dining table?

Allow at least 80-100cm of clearance space on all sides so guests can pull out chairs comfortably. For a 6-seater dining set, this typically means a total patio area of 2.5m x 2.5m as a minimum. For rectangular tables placed against a wall, you can reduce clearance on one side, but maintain full clearance where chairs are positioned.
