An 8-seater dining set gives you space to bring everyone together. You can host long family lunches, invite friends over, and still have room for school projects and everyday life. Choose family-friendly reclaimed timber and well-priced 8-seater dining table and chair sets to build a warm, welcoming dining area.
8-Seat Dining Table Set: Key Features
- Room for family and guests: A dining table set for 8 gives you comfortable seating for larger families, regular dinner parties, and long, shared meals without everyone feeling squeezed.
- Reclaimed timber character: Many of our 8-seater dining sets feature FSC‑certified reclaimed timber with natural grain, knots and variations that add warmth and authenticity to your dining space.
- Better value in complete sets: Choosing a coordinated 8-seater dining table set with matching chairs is often better value than buying each piece separately and saves time measuring and styling.
- Flexible combinations: Shop complete 8-seater dining table and chairs packages, or start with an 8-seat dining table set and add chairs or benches from the wider dining range for a more personalised look.
Why Choose a Dining Table Set for 8?
A dining table set for 8 suits larger families, blended households, and anyone who regularly has grandparents, neighbours, or friends over for meals. It gives you the extra seats you need for birthdays, holidays, and weekend entertaining, without having to squeeze in mismatched chairs at the last minute.
If your space is on the smaller side or you mostly host two to four people, a 4-seater dining table set can be a better fit. For everyday flexibility, a 6-seater dining set balances extra seating with a more compact footprint, while a 10-seater dining table set or 12-seater dining table set is ideal for large dining zones and big gatherings.
Reclaimed Timber, Family‑Friendly 8-Seater Dining Table Set
Many 8-seater dining sets at 1825 Interiors are made from reclaimed and recycled pine or other solid timbers, so every table has its own character. Natural knots, grain shifts, and gentle colour variations tell the story of the timber’s past life and bring extra warmth to your dining room.
Reclaimed timber is also a practical, family‑friendly choice. Solid construction and durable finishes are designed to handle daily meals, school projects, and the odd bump or scrape, while using recycled materials helps reduce demand for new‑growth timber and supports more sustainable furniture choices over time.
Sizes, Shapes and Room Planning
Most 8-seat dining table sets are rectangular, with many designs falling roughly in these ranges:
- Table length: about 200–240 cm.
- Table width: about 90–110 cm.
- Space per person along the table edge: roughly 60–75 cm for comfortable elbow room.
Around the outside of the table, it helps to allow at least 90 cm from the table edge to the nearest wall or furniture so people can slide chairs back and walk behind them without feeling cramped. Many independent space-planning guides recommend a combined sitting and circulation zone of roughly 91–152 cm around the table, depending on how generous you want the walkway and how busy the room will be.
Delivery and Pickup for 8-Seater Dining Table and Chairs
Once your 8-seater dining table and chairs are ready, you can arrange delivery to most locations in NSW and the ACT, and selected locations in VIC, SA and QLD through trusted delivery partners. Customers outside these zones can often organise their own courier in consultation with the team.
In most cases, the dining table needs simple at-home assembly, typically attaching the legs to the tabletop, while many dining chairs arrive fully assembled so you can set up your space quickly. Delivery coverage, fees, and assembly requirements can vary between products, so it is best to check the details on each product page, read the current delivery & pickup information, and confirm anything you are unsure about with your local store before you place your order.

8-Seater Dining Set FAQs
What size room do I need for an 8-seater dining table?
For an 8-seater dining table, allow not just the table’s footprint but also at least about 60–75 cm of clear space on all sides so chairs can pull out easily and people can move around. As a rough guide, many rooms that are around 3.5–4 metres long and 3–3.5 metres wide can work for a standard rectangular 8-seater, but it is always worth checking your room measurements against the specific table dimensions before you buy.
What materials are your 8-seater dining sets made from?
Most 8-seater dining sets from 1825 Interiors are made from reclaimed or recycled pine and other solid timbers, highlighting the natural grain and character of the wood. Durable, family‑friendly finishes are chosen to handle everyday use while also supporting more sustainable furniture choices than many mass‑produced options.
Do your 8-seater dining tables come fully assembled or flat packed?
Most 8-seater dining tables do not arrive fully assembled. The tabletop and legs usually come separately, so you’ll need to do some simple assembly at home, while all dining chairs arrive pre-assembled so you can use them straight away.
Can I mix and match dining chairs with my 8-seater table?
Yes, you can start with an 8-seater dining table and then choose chairs or a mix of chairs and benches from our wider dining furniture range if you prefer a personalised look. However, complete 8-seater dining table and chair sets are usually the easiest and most cost‑effective way to get a balanced layout, matched finishes, and the right proportions without extra measuring.
Do you offer delivery Australia-wide for 8-seater dining sets?
1825 Interiors offers delivery to most of NSW and the ACT, with selected interstate areas covered by partner carriers.
