Will the tables
fit the room?

Enter the clear floor and the table the supplier will actually send. The count leaves room for chairs, an aisle and a gap at the wall. It does not draw the room for you.

A fit check, not a floor plan

How many of these tables the floor can hold.

10

tables · 80 seats

5 along the length and 2 across the width. Round tables use the same spacing either way. The other direction fits the same number.

These seats cover 80 guests.

Centre spacing is 335 cm along the length and 335 cm across the width. That includes a 50 cm chair depth where people sit, a 75 cm aisle, and a 60 cm gap at the wall. Seats are limited to one per 60 cm of edge. Columns, doors, a buffet and a dance floor are not removed. Sketch those on the venue plan before you order.

Questions people ask

Before you trust the seat count.

Does this replace a floor plan?

No. It checks a repeated table on an empty rectangle. Doors, columns, a buffet and a dance floor still have to be drawn on the venue’s plan.

Whose table size should I enter?

The size the rental company will deliver, and the number of seats they recommend for your menu. A photo of a different table is not a measurement.

What if the room is not a rectangle?

Measure the clear rectangle you can actually use, or try the length and width of each section. Do not enter the building’s outside dimensions.

Measure before you reserve the chairs.
