Hello,

I need advice on the size of the dining room table that we should get. Our dining room is 19 feet by 15 feet and we are getting a custom made table. We would love a big table, but don't want it to look too large in the room. The furniture maker is recommending a table that is just over 9 feet long to seat 10-12 people. We would like to have a side board at the long end of the room. Do you think the table is too long? The previous owners had a table to seat 8 in the room and it looked fine, but they had a side board at the long end of the room and a buffet at the narrow end of the room.

I am a little confused by table sizes and rules and don't want to make a mistake here. I did a rough to scale drawing and it looks fine, but would love any input.

Thank you so much for your help.
