9. Is a 180cm table too large for a standard UK dining room?

A 180cm table works well in most medium to large UK dining rooms, but it's important to allow at least 90cm of clearance on all sides for comfortable movement. If your room is on the smaller side, an extendable table that extends to 180cm when needed — but sits shorter day-to-day — is a smarter choice. FW Homestores' extendable range includes versatile 180cm table options designed for real UK homes.
