Everything about your Danish oval dining table for 4 people

What is Danish oval? 

You may have heard of the term Danish oval before, but you may still not exactly know what it means. The long side of a Danish oval dining table is curved, just like a standard oval dining table. The big difference is in the end sides. The ends are finished straight, creating two full seats. That allows you to place two extra chairs on the end sides!

Danish oval dining table 160 cm

Are you looking for an ultra-compact dining table that makes perfect use of the space in your dining room or kitchen? Then, as far as we are concerned, a 160 cm Danish oval dining table is perfect! The width we recommend for this size is 90 cm. We already told you above that dining chairs can be placed on the ends. This means that this size is also suitable to turn into a 6-person dining table. Do you plan to install 6 chairs in the future? Then please take that into account when mapping out the possibilities of your space.

Do you have a little more space to fill, and do you have chairs with an armrest, for example? Then it may be smart to consider a Danish oval dining table of 180 cm. This size gives you just a little more space and comfort. As for the width, you can consider increasing it to 100 cm, but 90 cm is certainly also an option. Here, too, you can choose to add two chairs at the end sides. This is one of the reasons why Danish oval is so popular. Did you know that in addition to Danish oval, we have 3 other shapes for you that we think belong to the oval category? Discover our oval, semi-oval, and semicircle dining tables. These will give you a good idea of all the possibilities. You can read more about the differences in the blog about the 4 oval shapes.

Danish oval dining table 200 cm

In our opinion, the largest size that qualifies for a Danish oval dining table is 200 cm. In this case, you have a very spacious 4-person dining table that you can theoretically upgrade to an 8-person table. How? In the case of 200 cm you have the option to place three dining room chairs on the long sides. However, we’d like to urge you to choose chairs without armrests. If you also place chairs on the end sides, you’ll have the capacity for 8 people at your table.

Space behind your Danish oval dining table

It’s smart to not only to focus on the dimensions of your dining table, but on the space around it, too. This way you won't be faced with any surprises when your table is delivered. We recommend at least 70 cm between the edge of the table and the wall. This way you retain the option to walk behind the table without it becoming really crowded. Tip: when purchasing a new dining table, you may immediately think of oak. But did you know that we also sell Danish oval dining tables made of other materials?
