Have you ever had trouble accommodating all your guests at your dining table? If so, you should try to get a round dining table with a large diameter. The 60-inch round dining table is one of the most commonly made and used tables. This type of table is probably just what you need to get that extra space for your guests.
Dimensions
As we explained, the expression 60 round dining table refers to the fact that these tables are 62 inches in diameter. That means these tables are almost 16 feet in diameter. This is quite a large size for a dining table. It allows you to comfortably seat 6 people, and maybe even accommodate another person or two. Also, many of these tables are equipped with additional leaves, which are designed to fit into the table and expand its size. With one of those leaves, one more person usually fits, and with two, another two people. So a regular 60-inch round dining table with two leaves can seat up to 10 people. As you can see, having a round dining set is a very practical way to have a table that is spacious enough to seat a large number of people, but small enough to fit in most dining rooms, without taking up too much space.
The base for a 60-inch round dining table
The size of these tables requires the use of a larger and stronger base than most round tables have. For this reason, certain styles of pedestals are not available for a 60-inch round dining set. However, there is still a wide variety of styles and looks for the pedestals of these tables. Designs like the simple country design, mission design, shaker design, and even some modern designs are available for these tables. And you can find them both in the single pedestal version and in the double pedestal version. There is also the option of adding legs to your 60-inch round dining table. This can be a problem though, as it usually means you’ll need to add a square skirt under the table, to which the legs will be attached. This will change the look of the table and probably make it less elegant. Another option for the base, which is considered a contemporary style base, is designed as a combination of ordinary legs and an easel. What that means is that the legs come down from the edges of the table and are then attached using a shelf. Under the shelf, the legs are divided again and go to the floor at an angle. There really are many possible bases for these tables, so look around and you’ll find one to your liking.
Regardless of the base you choose, if you want a dining table that is both customizable and elegant, you should consider getting a 60-inch round dining table.
