A round dining table for 8 is ideal when you want everyone in easy conversation range and need a generous table that still feels relaxed and welcoming. An 8-seater dining table in reclaimed timber brings warmth, character, and everyday durability to busy Australian homes that juggle family life, open‑plan living, and entertaining.
8-Seater Dining Table: Size Guide
If you’re choosing a dining table for 8 people, allow roughly 60–75 cm of space per seat around the table, and try to keep about 75–90 cm between the table edge and any walls or nearby furniture. This helps everyone sit down, stand up, and move their chairs without feeling cramped.
Use these quick size cues while you browse:
- Round 8-seater dining table: often around 150–180 cm in diameter.
-
6-8 seater extension dining table: often around 180 cm in length, extending to 230 cm x 950 cm W x 78cm H.

Why Choose An 8-Seater Dining Table?
An 8-seater dining table works well for growing families, people who love having friends over, and open-plan homes where the table doubles as a spot for homework, crafts, and work. It gives you enough room for everyday meals plus a couple of extra seats for guests, without dragging out folding tables every time someone drops by.
8-Seater Round Dining Table: Easy Conversation, Better Flow
An 8-seater round dining table keeps everyone facing each other, so conversation feels easy and no one is left on the corner. It gives each person a comfortable spot while keeping the group connected. In an open‑plan room, a round 8-seater dining table also softens sharp angles and helps the space feel more inviting. It’s easier to walk around when people are seated, so the room flows better during family meals and gatherings.
Square Dining Table For 8: Structure & Balance
A square dining table for 8 creates a strong focal point and a sense of balance, especially in symmetrical rooms or when you want to clearly define the dining area. Its equal sides give the space a structured, grounded look that feels intentional and orderly. An 8-seater square dining table works best when you can centre it in the room, with similar clearance on each side so people can sit and move their chairs back comfortably.
Styling Your 8-Seater Dining Table
You’ll find 8-seater round dining table and square 8-seater dining table options across rustic farmhouse, coastal, Scandinavian‑inspired and classic looks, often with matching or complementary dining chairs, buffets & sideboards and dining sets so you can complete the room in one go. Many customers choose an 8-seater dining package that bundles the table with eight coordinated chairs for a ready‑to‑go setup and great value.
Delivery, Pickup & Shopping In‑Store
Once you have chosen your 8-seater dining table, you can arrange home delivery to selected areas or book a warehouse pickup slot, following the inspection steps provided before you sign off your order. This gives you the chance to check your table on arrival and ask any questions about care and setup.
