Properly measuring your room for an octagonal card table must include the clearance needed to back the chairs away from the table. Allowing 36 inches, in addition to the table's diameter, is adequate for most situations. This will allow you to comfortably get in and out of the chairs.

Although most card tables available are octagonal, other shapes exist such as round, square and hexagonal. Our room dimension chart applies for octagonal, round, square and hexagonal table shapes.
