Have you ever had a problem with accommodating all your guests at your dining table? If that is so, you should try getting a round dining table with a large diameter. The 60 inch round dining table is one of the most commonly manufactured and used tables. This type of table is probably just what you need to get that extra room for guests.
The Dimensions
Folding Counter Stools
As we explained, the expression 60 round dining table refers to the fact that these tables are 62 inches in diameter. That means that these tables are almost 16 feet around. This is quite a size for a dining table. It allows you to seat 6 people comfortably, and perhaps even squeeze in another person or two. Also, a lot of these tables are equipped with additional leaves, which are designed to fit into the table, and expand its size. With one of those leaves you can usually fit in one more person, and with two, another two people. So, a regular 60 inch round dining table with two leaves is able to accommodate up to 10 people. As you can see, having a round dining set is a very practical way for having a table that is spacious enough to accommodate a large number of people, yet small enough to fit in most dining rooms, without taking up too much space.
The Base for a 60 Inch Round Dining Table
The size of these tables requires the use of a base that is bigger and stronger than most round tables have. For this reason, certain styles of pedestals are not available for a 60 inch round dining set. However, there is still a wide variety of styles and looks for the pedestals of these tables. Designs like the simple country design, mission design, shaker design, and even some modern designs are available for these tables. And you can find them with both the single and the double pedestal version. Also there is the option of adding legs to your 60 inch round dining table. This can be somewhat of a problem though, as this will usually mean that you will have to add a square skirt under the table, to which the legs will be attached. This will change the look of the table, and probably make it less stylish. Another option for the base, that is considered to be a contemporary style base is designed as a mix of ordinary legs and a trestle. What that means is that the legs go down form the edges of the table, and then are joined together by a shelf. Beneath the shelf the legs are divided again, and go to the ground at an angle. There are really many possible bases for these tables, so look around, and you will find one to your liking.
Whatever base do you choose, if you want a dining table that is customizable, and still stylish, you should consider getting a 60 inch round dining table.
