A round will likely work better with the shape and function of the space. Often laying out the shapes and sizes can be helpful to see how it will look in the space. Using cardboard, painters tape, blankets, etc can help simulate the table. We often suggest 24" per person for elbow room. Then as far as wall or furniture clearance, a minimum of about 30-36". If you have more room that that, even better. A 70" round will fit 8-10 people. Chairs size and level of individual comfort will impact the space allowed per person, but this size will function well. Feel free to contact us will any questions!

Round! Your room is a great shape for it so take advantage.

Go with your instinct and get the round table. Your room is perfect for it!

Round with a pedestal base it wil always allow for a couple more chairs to squeeze in. Get chairs with no arms and a 60” table would be good in that space it seats 8-10 adults

Coming back to this post as we are ready to move forward! We decided on a 72" round dining table. We looked at a lot of 60" tables in local design rooms and they seemed to barely fit 6-8 adults. I know chair style / size will play heavily into how many we can fit, but I think 72" will give us a lot more wiggle room. I plan to start a new thread for more specific ideas on pieces for our dining room. Thanks so much for the input thus far!
