Full Specifications Brand Mercana Dimensions 86.5" W × 39" D × 30" H Material Solid Mango Wood Color Options Dark Brown, Light Brown Shape Oval Seating Capacity 6 people Weight 162 lbs Style Contemporary What Is an Oval Dining Table? An oval dining table features a continuous curved perimeter combining the space efficiency of a round table with the linear footprint of a rectangle. Oval tables eliminate sharp corners, improving traffic flow and conversation angles while seating the same number of guests as a rectangular table of similar length. What You Get With the Mercana Isla Wooden Oval Dining Table Solid Mango Wood Construction -- The 162-pound hardwood frame delivers restaurant-grade durability with natural grain patterns unique to each table. 86.5-Inch Oval Top -- The elongated surface comfortably seats six adults with 14-15 inches of elbow space per person. Arched Leg Architecture -- Slender curved legs reduce visual bulk by 30-40 percent compared to straight-post designs while maintaining structural integrity. Dual Finish Options -- Dark brown enhances traditional interiors; light brown suits Scandinavian or coastal palettes. Contemporary Silhouette -- The oval shape and tapered legs integrate into modern dining room furniture layouts without period constraints. Where Does an 86.5-Inch Oval Dining Table Work Best? The Isla table anchors open-plan kitchens or dedicated dining rooms measuring 12 × 14 feet or larger, leaving 36-42 inches of clearance on all sides for chair movement. Pair it with upholstered chairs from LOOMLAN's living room furniture collection for a transitional look, or match the mango wood tone with benches from our modern kitchen dining table curation for farmhouse-contemporary fusion. Frequently Asked Questions What size dining table seats 8 people? A table seating eight typically measures 96 inches long rectangular or 72 inches round; this 86.5-inch oval Isla seats six comfortably with standard 24-inch place settings. What is the best wood for a dining table? Mango wood ranks high for dining tables due to its Janka hardness rating of 1,070 lbf -- harder than walnut, more sustainable than oak, and naturally resistant to water rings when finished properly. Is a round or rectangular dining table better for a small room? An oval table like the Isla splits the difference: its curved ends improve walkability like a round table while its 86.5-inch length provides the seating capacity of a rectangle in narrow rooms. What shape dining table seats the most people? Rectangular tables seat the most people per square foot; oval tables seat 10-15 percent fewer guests than rectangles of equal length but offer better conversation angles and corner clearance. Does LOOMLAN offer free shipping on dining tables? Yes, LOOMLAN provides free shipping on all orders to the continental United States with no minimum purchase, including the 162-pound Isla table. How many inches per person at a dining table? Standard dining ergonomics allocate 24 inches of table width per person; the Isla's 86.5-inch length divided by six seats equals 14.4 inches per person, which is appropriate for oval tables where curved edges add usable surface area.
