How many people can actually sit comfortably around a 6-foot conference table?

A 72” (6-foot) conference table comfortably seats 6 people, with room to push to 8 if you use the end seats. The standard planning rule is one seat per 24” of table edge — so three seats per long side plus two at the ends gives you a maximum of 8 seats. In practice, 6 people at a 72” table feels comfortable and uncrowded; regularly seating 8 starts to feel tight and a 96” table is the better choice.
