What are the other choices? Does it matter if it fits or not?

Maybe I'm not understanding the problem...It's a temporary situation, right? So we make do...

You say your table is 72", which is 6 ft. Since you don't mention a table width, I would assume the max would possibly be 48" or less...4 ft or less. Add a foot x2 onto each measurement for the chairs at the table on each side, then add 2 ft x2 for the chair with a person seated at the table. So 6 ft long, plus 2 ft of chair space plus 4 ft of guest space, makes 12 ft. Since your room is 13.5 ft, yes the length fits unless your chairs are very large

.

Your table width is likely 4 ft or less (unless round, then you'd have a very tight fit), plus 2 ft for chair space plus 4 ft for guest space makes 10 ft or less depending on the table width. So the width would fit. Hopefully your DR isn't totally enclosed so it will feel like you have room visually around it also. HTH

Yes, it will fit and there is room to spare, as you need at least 2’ around table in order to pull back chairs.

Thanks Pennydesign. Yes, it is temporary. I just wanted to know if it would fit.

Sorry, I forgot to put that it is 72" round. Minor details....haha!

So I guess it is going to be very tight. Thank all of you for the feedback.
