How many chairs fit around a 6-foot (72") conference table?

A 72" (6-foot) conference table seats 6–8 people. At 24" per person per the standard rule: 3 seats per long side (6 total) plus 2 end seats = 8 maximum. For comfortable 6-person meetings, a 72" table is ideal. If you plan to regularly seat 8, a 96" table is more appropriate.
