how big a table can I get?

9 years ago

my dining room dimension is 12'7-1/2" (from fireplace to wall) x 13'6" from back wall to window. Light is about 6'8" from fireplace and 6' from opposite wall. How big a dining table can I get? The see through fireplace is just for show and doesn't emit much heat.

Subtract 5' for in front of the fireplace and 3' for every other wall. The remaining space is the size table that will work. Even if it doesn't emit much heat, you cannot risk a too tight pathway next to a fireplace.

how about our eat-in kitchen where one side is sliding doors and the other side is a countertop with 12" overhang? how much allowance do you need to give for the side next to the countertop?
