Dining room chair clearance

I'm wondering if there is a recommended clearance around a dining room table. I have been in so many homes where once everyone is seated it is close to impossible for one person to squeeze around the table behind everyone's chair and the wall, which is quite disruptive to the meal. Also, where you can't back your own chair out far enough to untrap your feet from the chairs on either side of you.

I am looking into a table that is 44" wide, and I want to put it in a room that has walls 114" apart, so I figure on 35" of clearance on each side. Is that enought for comfort? It is tough to tell without actually putting a table there and trying it.
