How Many People Can Sit at an 8-Foot Table?

Eight to 10 people can also be seated around a 60-inch or 72-inch round table, respectively. Eight people can also be seated around a 48-inch round table or at a 6-foot rectangular table if chairs are placed at the ends of the table. These spacings allow about 6 to 8 inches between chairs. When rectangular tables are placed end to end, two extra people can be squeezed in at the join between the tables.
