How wide of a dining table?!?!

Hi,


I want to order a custom sized walnut dining table, but I am having some dilemmas with the width of the table.


I want to go more towards 44", but my wife is thinking 40" wide.


From the edge of my counter to the other side of the wall is 116". Normal math of 36" on each side would leave me with 44". But I will also have stools on the side of the counter and just don't want it to be too cluttered. For now most dinners is just our family of 4 (2 young kids), and several times a week 2 grandparents will join. Every other week we will have friends over but that is not a concern for us.


Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. By the way, the length of the dining area is pretty long, so right now i am thinking of the table being 96" long, and i will still have 4-5' to the hutch.




PS the table in the picture is 36" Wide and 63" long (It is from our previous home)
