A 48" table will only leave two feet around the table for chairs. You can't pull out a chair and sit down in only two feet. Is it possible to have the table up against one of the sides with a bench instead? Then get a 36 X 48" rectangular table. It depends on whether the table is going to be blocking a traffic aisle. Can you show us a picture of the space?

Also consider seating requirements and look into square and rectangle options - see link below. .

I think you would be better off doing a rect. table against the wall and pulled out when you need more than 4 seats . The table can be 30" and the chairs can ten pullout to 30" more and you can still walk behind the seats.
