Tables

How to choose a table

• Height for the job: each type has its own height. A dining table is about 75 cm high, while a coffee table sits close to the height of the sofa seat.
• Seats at the table: each person needs about 60 cm of table edge. Our dining tables seat four to eight people.
• Space around it: leave at least 80 cm between a dining table and the wall, so chairs can be pulled out.
• Shape for the room: a round table has no corners and suits a small or square room. A rectangular table suits a longer room.
• A desk that fits you: sitting at the desk, your elbows should bend at about a right angle. Keep the screen at least 50 cm from your eyes.

Common mistakes when choosing a table

• Measuring only the table: Chairs, legs and people need room too. Measure the room, then subtract the space around the table.
• A coffee table that is too tall: a table higher than the sofa seat is awkward to reach and looks too big.
• A side table well below the armrest: you reach down for every cup. Measure the arm of your sofa first.

Dimensions and materials

• Dining tables: 120 to 230 cm long, all 75 to 76 cm high.
• Coffee tables: up to about 120 cm long, with round tables from 50 cm.
• Side tables: sets of three, from 30 to 65 cm high.
• Desks: 94 to 130 cm wide.
• Materials: mango wood, glass, high gloss, metal, MDF (wood fibreboard) and a dark brown wood look.

Caring for your table

Wipe wood and wood-look tops with a dry or slightly damp cloth, and use coasters under drinks. Clean glass with a soft cloth and a little glass cleaner. Do not put hot pans straight on the top.

Frequently asked questions

How high should a dining table be?

Ours are 75 to 76 cm high, the standard height, so standard chairs fit underneath. They match our dining chairs.

How big a dining table do I need?

Count the people who eat at it every day. A 120 cm table seats four, and a 180 cm table seats six.

How high should a coffee table be?

About level with your sofa seat, or up to about 10 cm lower.

Round or rectangular table?

Round suits a small or square room, because there are no corners. Rectangular suits a longer room and larger families.

Which tables suit a small living room?

A round coffee table or a nesting set of side tables, which slide together when you do not need them.
