Chelsea Round Table (1.3m): seating, clearance and the marble top
This guide is about
Chelsea Round Table (1.3m)
The Chelsea Round Table (1.3m) is listed in one size, ⌀130 x 75cm, which reads as 130cm across the top and 75cm floor to top. The listing states three things about the materials: the top is marble with natural veining, the frame is polished chrome, and the base is a circular cross pedestal.
What 130cm across actually seats
A round top is measured by its edge, and a 130cm circle has about 408cm of it. Divide by the number of chairs and the right answer appears:
| Chairs | Edge each | In practice |
|---|---|---|
| Four | about 102cm | Roomy, with space for serving dishes in the middle |
| Five | about 82cm | Comfortable for every meal |
| Six | about 68cm | Works well; close but not cramped |
| Seven | about 58cm | Only with narrow, armless chairs |
On those figures six works comfortably and five is where the table starts to feel generous. Measure the widest point of your chairs, arms included, rather than the seat width.
The floor space it needs
Round tables want a square of clear floor rather than a rectangle. Allow about 75cm out from the rim for a chair in use and about 100cm anywhere somebody has to walk behind a seated guest.
- Chairs all round: roughly a 280cm square.
- Chairs plus a walkway on every side: nearer a 330cm square.
- One side against a wall: you can take about 75cm off that dimension, at the cost of two seats.
The cross pedestal is what makes six work. With no legs at the corners, chairs sit anywhere on the circumference and you can shuffle places along to fit one more in. The figure the listing does not give is the spread of the pedestal foot, and a wide foot is what stops a chair tucking fully under the rim, so ask the shop for it if the room is tight.
The marble top, and what to ask before ordering
The listing describes the top as marble with natural veining, and says nothing more about it than that. Take the veining at face value: the pattern on the table you receive will not be the pattern in the photograph, and if the veining matters to you, ask for a photograph of the actual piece before it is sent.
What the listing does not tell you is the thickness of the top, its weight, whether it has been sealed, or what the shop recommends for cleaning it. None of those are details to guess at with a stone surface, so put them in an email or ask in the store. There is also no coaster, mat or care kit mentioned with the table.
How it compares with the rest of the range
If your room is long rather than square, the Chelsea Dining Table (1.5/1.8/2m) carries the same chrome-frame look in three rectangular lengths. The SG-Chelsea Round Table (1.3m) is the same diameter in a different finish, and the Lewis Round Table (1.3m) is another 130cm option, so the seating arithmetic above applies to all three and the choice comes down to the frame and the top. The full set sits in dining tables.
Ordering
Settle on the number of chairs, check the square of floor against the figures above, and ask about the top before you commit. Delivery is free within 50 miles of our Glasgow store and £50 beyond. Photographs and the full listing are on the Chelsea Round Table (1.3m) page.
