I am hoping for a kitchen/breakfast table commission. It is for a family of 4, and they would like to seat 6 (kids' friends) on rare occassion. Max length for the space seems to be 54" but this could be pushed a bit if need be. When seating 6, they would like the configuation to be 2 @ on the sides, and 1@ at the ends. There is only 72" between a wall and an island, so width is constrained. I will be bidding it with a single plank, live edge top, and tapered bent lamination legs. Can a 54 x 30 seat 6 in pinch, as I have described above? I think that, day to day, the table will probably live against the outside wall, so the seating day to day would be at the ends, with 2 on the same side. They do not yet have permanent chairs, so the size of the chairs is not known.
Thanks for any help.
