Hello AT,
I have a problem with my kitchen in my new apartment. Adjacent to the kitchen is an extremely small in-kitchen dining area- only 61" wide and 93" long. I want to create a dining table setting that can fit up to four, but will usually only be used for two. Can you come up with a solution? Most tables I can find are either too small to fit four people, or too big to fit in the space. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Matt
This sounds like a situation where you might have to build or fashion something in to get the most out of your space.
Without knowing exactly what your space looks like, we did a little drawing above of a built in banquette-type of solution which has worked for us in the past. Instead of trying to fit bulky moveable furniture in a small space, building in like this will make it seem roomy. We would do it all with nice plywood. (Thanks, Matt!) MGR
That same set up as MGR describes, but (as an alternative) making the table free-standing, on lockable casters.
