So if you want to accommodate four people around your farm table, you will need a tray of L 120 x D 80 cm. Your farmhouse table will need to measure L 180 x D 90 cm to accommodate six persons. And measure L 220 x D 90 cm for eight guests. And so on… Concerning the height under the top, count 75 cm to be able to pass the legs without problem.
