The design brief

Allow roughly 90 cm from table edge to a quiet wall for basic chair use, and closer to 110–120 cm where people must walk behind seated diners. Include doors, consoles and actual chair depth.

  • Measure the room and access route.
  • Test the exact product in person.
  • Record material and finish codes.
  • Compare delivered cost and service.

BUYER'S GUIDE · DELHI NCR

Dining Table Clearance Guide

This guide answers high-intent searches from Gurgaon and South Delhi buyers looking for an MG Road furniture showroom, imported furniture, a luxury furniture store near me and a supported alternative to direct China sourcing.

01

Seat count is not one size

Four-, six- and eight-seater labels cover many shapes. Request exact top dimensions, base position and chair width rather than squeezing seats between legs.

02

Plan three rings

The first ring is tabletop, the second is the occupied and pulled-back chair, and the third is circulation. Busy routes need more space than quiet walls.

03

Account for doors

Draw balcony doors, kitchen routes, sideboards and crockery units fully open. A slim console still reduces working clearance.

04

Coordinate the room

Test chair height with the table apron. Keep pulled-back chair legs on the rug. Centre the chandelier on the table and tape the complete plan before ordering.

CHINA IMPORT OR LOCAL SHOWROOM?

Compare the complete route

A factory quote is not landed cost. Include freight, inspection, customs, tax, storage, handling, installation, damage risk and after-sales support. Direct import can suit a large professionally managed project; for individual furniture, showroom testing and local delivery coordination may be more predictable.

Use one checklist for both routes: specification, finish approval, comfort, packed size, delivered cost, lead time, damage responsibility and service.

Often missed

  • Freight and documents
  • Duties and taxes
  • Storage and installation
  • Damage and mismatch
  • Parts and service
