Thread: Dining room table.

Both my dining tables are 760mm high and the one that has an apron is 600mm from the ground. Hope this helps.

groovy I will continue to design.

Hi GW, yes 740 - 760 is probably standard height, apron can be adjusted to suit yourself, you can sit on a standard chair approx 450 high and check how much room you would like over your legs. The last dining room table I did was 760high with a 70mm apron and it had heeps of room.

29-1/2" and 5" respectively - it's written in stone somewhere.

WW, catch up with the times man, "mm" wouldn't want to go much lower than the 5" (unless you're a short arze) it would be
a bit squeezy. We have one that was my FIL it must be something like that, it's a bit cruel on the legs.

Interesting how times have changed. 725 was standard when i started, now 760 is standard, and i get lots asking for 780.

I was quoting directly from the stone tablet (pre-decimalisation).

That's probably a reflection on the slovenly way people eat these days; with their elbows on the table so they can shovel food into their mouths.

Woodbin has suggested dimensions for many types of furniture.

Eating at home. I think I recall that sometime when I was a lad. These days seems to be a lot of eating on the run or at work.
