SG-Chelsea Round Table (1.3m): how many fit round 130cm
This guide is about
SG-Chelsea Round Table (1.3m)
The SG-Chelsea Round Table (1.3m) is listed in one size, ⌀130 x 75cm: 130cm across the top, 75cm from the floor to the surface. A round table is the easiest shape to judge, because you can measure the edge and divide it, so this post does the sums.
What the listing states
The listing gives a 130cm marble top with natural veining, a polished gold frame, and a circular cross pedestal base. There is one size and no options to choose. Natural veining means the pattern is not repeated between tops, so what arrives will not match a photograph exactly.
What is not stated: the top thickness, the weight, the spread of the pedestal foot, and whether the base arrives assembled. On a round table the foot spread is the figure that decides whether chairs tuck fully under, so it is the one worth asking for.
What 130cm across really seats
A 130cm circle has about 408cm of edge. Divide it by the number of chairs and you have the space each person gets.
| Chairs | Edge each | In practice |
|---|---|---|
| Four | about 102cm | Generous, with the middle free for serving |
| Five | about 82cm | Comfortable for any meal |
| Six | about 68cm | The sensible maximum; fine for dinner |
| Eight | about 51cm | Too tight unless the chairs are narrow and armless |
Six is the honest ceiling and four or five is where it feels roomy. Measure the widest point of your chairs rather than the seat, because that is what sets how many will physically fit, and chairs with arms take up far more edge than the seat width suggests.
Why the cross pedestal matters
With a pedestal there are no legs at fixed positions, so a chair can go anywhere on the rim and you can shuffle seats along rather than being stuck with four places. That is what lets a 130cm round take six when a four-legged table of the same size often cannot. The catch is the foot: a cross base reaches out further than a single column, and a chair will stop where the foot does. Check it on delivery against where your chairs actually land.
Round or rectangular at this size
A 130cm round and a 180cm rectangular table seat roughly the same number, but they behave differently. The round one needs a squarer patch of floor and everyone can see everyone; the rectangle fits a long narrow room and gives each person a defined place. If the room is longer than it is wide, a rectangle will almost always use it better.
- Allow about 75cm out from the rim for a chair in use: ring the 130cm top with that and you need roughly a 280cm square of clear floor.
- Allow about 100cm where someone walks behind a seated diner. On all sides that is nearer a 330cm square.
- Measure your doorways. A 130cm rigid top is one piece and will not flex round a tight corner.
What else to look at
At the same 130cm diameter, the SG-Lewis Round Table (1.3m) swaps the cross pedestal for legs, which changes where chairs can sit. For the same gold-framed look in a rectangle, the SG-Chelsea Dining Table (1.8/2m) is 180 x 90cm or 200 x 100cm. And the Chelsea Round Table (1.3m) is another 130cm round in the same dining tables range, listed with a different frame finish, so it is worth opening both listings side by side. Chairs are listed separately under dining chairs.
Before you order
Measure the clear floor as a square, measure your chairs at their widest, and ask the shop for the foot spread and top thickness. Delivery is free within 50 miles of our Glasgow store and £50 beyond. The photographs and full details are on the SG-Chelsea Round Table (1.3m) page.
