| I have about a 9' x 9' area to set up for dining. I'm not sure what kind of dining set I should look into to maximize that space. I don't want to obstruct traffic to the back patio and there is a baseboard heater on one side of the wall. Should I place an area rug under the dining set to kind of separate the spaces? Any advice would be greatly appreciated including size, shape and materials.
Thank you! |

| The question is how many need to dine there on a daily basis? You will be able to get more people around a round table than rectangular. 9 by 9 is a very small area....surely you can push that back into the room more. |

| I just replaced a 54"round with a rectangle that is 36 x 54. The eating area is between the kitchen and the family room so there is a lot of thru traffic. . Both seat 6 but we really like the rectangle because it allows more room for people to walk. It also has a butterfly leaf that allows it to open to a 54" square really easily so it can seat 8. We keep the extra 2 chairs in the garage. |
