How Wide Is a Patio Table

A good rule to live by is to allow 18 to 24 inches per place setting, and 6 to 12 inches between place settings. This allows your guests plenty of room to sit comfortably. At these dimensions, you can fit four people at a square table up to 40 inches, a round table up to 44 inches, and an oblong table up to 46 inches.
