BK-Jessica Dining Table (1.8m): the room a 180cm table needs
This guide is about
BK-Jessica Dining Table (1.8m)
The BK-Jessica Dining Table (1.8m) is a one-size table, and that is worth knowing before anything else: unlike several others in the dining tables range it has no size option to choose. The listing gives 180 x 90 x 75cm, which reads as 180cm long, 90cm front to back and 75cm high. Confirm that order with the shop if your space is tight in one direction, because a dimension string is the one place a mistake costs you a delivery.
What the listing commits to
The top is ceramic, and the listing describes that surface as resistant to scratches, heat and staining. The frame is black, with what the listing calls pronounced angular geometry. The length suits six to eight diners, again by the listing's own reckoning. Those are the facts; everything below is how they land in a real room.
What is not stated: the thickness of the top, the frame material behind the black finish, the weight, and exactly where the legs stand. That last one matters more than people expect, so see the measuring section.
Six at 180cm, eight if the ends are used
A place setting wants somewhere near 60cm of table edge. On a 180cm long side that is three places, so six around the two long sides, with one more at each end if you are willing to use them. The 90cm depth is what makes the ends usable at all: much narrower and a chair at the end of a table sits in everyone's way.
| Arrangement | Edge each | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Six, long sides only | about 60cm | The everyday setting; the middle of the table stays clear for dishes |
| Eight, with both ends | about 60cm | Works for a meal, but the ends need room to pull a chair back |
| Four | about 90cm | Roomy, and leaves half the table free |
Measuring before you commit
Add the chairs, then the walkway. Allow roughly 75cm out from each edge for a chair in use and about 100cm where somebody has to pass behind a seated person.
- Chairs on the long sides only: about 180 x 240cm of clear floor.
- Chairs all round: about 330 x 240cm.
- Chairs all round with a walkway on every side: nearer 380 x 290cm.
Two other checks. First, the legs: the listing describes an angular frame but does not say whether the supports sit at the corners or inboard, so look closely at the photographs or ask, especially if you want a bench to slide under. Second, the route in. A 180cm top does not bend, so measure the narrowest point of your hall, the turn at the top of the stairs and the door opening.
The alternatives worth comparing
If you like the frame but want a different metal, the G-Jessica Dining Table (1.6/1.8m) is the gold version and adds a 1.6m option, which is the easiest 20cm to save in a narrow room. For a different base under the same kind of ceramic top at the same 180cm length, compare the two-leg BK-Roma Dining Table (1.8m) and the cross-pedestal BK-Milan Dining Table (1.5/1.8m), which also offers 150cm.
Ordering
