Aside from main traffic aisles, allow 4 1/2' between round tables for chair and service space. Allow 5 ft. between oblong tables where seating is back to back. This permits 24" of service space behind 18" chair depth. All allowances shown above are approximate and are provided as an estimate of room needed to host an event. All information is information only in nature and is not guaranteed to be accurate to your particular situation.

Seating Arrangements With back-to-back seating and an 18" chair depth, arrange tables 60" apart to provide a 24" service aisle.
