What Fits a 1.5 m Dining Table? A Size Guide for NZ Homes
A 1.5 m dining table is a useful size to shortlist when you want a rectangular table without giving up too much floor space. Start with the room you actually use, then compare the chairs and table together rather than choosing by length alone.
Mark the table and chairs on the floor
A 150 × 90 cm table uses 1.35 m² before you add chairs or walking space. Tape out the table footprint, put a chair where it would sit and pull it back as you would in everyday use. Check that you can still pass on the side people use most and open any nearby drawers or doors.
Can a 1.5 m dining table seat six?
It depends on chair width, the spacing between the legs and whether the ends are usable. For six seats, test two chairs on each long side and one at each end. Check where the legs meet the seat positions and whether armrests slide beneath the table. If six people eat together often, compare the same chairs against a 1.8 m table as well.
