72 Inch Dining Tables

72 inch dining tables that seat 6 to 8

A 72 inch dining table is a long table that seats six to eight people, with three chairs down each side and room to add ends. The tables in this group measure close to 71 inches, which gives the space of a full 72 inch table for family meals and guests while lining up neatly against a wall or down the center of an open room. At Two Seventy Nine, 72 inch dining tables start at $385.

Shapes cover rectangular, oval, and square. The rectangular and square wood tables give the most usable surface for serving dishes and place settings, while the oval glass tables soften the corners and keep sight lines open. A mid-century extendable model uses a butterfly leaf, so it can shorten for daily use and open back to the full length when you host.

Materials range across the group. Wood tops are walnut-tone solid wood with crossbar or rattan-wrapped legs, in walnut and natural finishes. The oval models use a clear glass top on a gold or silver double-column metal base. That gives you a warm wood look or an open glass look at the same long length.

This size suits larger families, regular dinner hosts, and long narrow dining rooms that can take the length. Seating runs 6 to 8 depending on the model and whether you add end chairs. Weights range from about 69 pounds on the extendable wood table up to 106 pounds on the oval glass tables, which carry the weight in the base.

Whether you want a solid wood table with rattan legs or an oval glass table for eight, there is a 72 inch model here to match, starting at $385. Shipping is free with delivery in 5 to 7 days.
