Purchased the walnut top, parsons base table. 42" x 78". Beautiful. It sits perfectly in my dining room area and compliments the adjacent living room are which is also filled with Room&Board pieces. A few more purchases: chairs and rug, and my dining room will be set.

Customer comments about Parsons 60x36 Dining Table/Desk:
This table is the perfect size for our small office. Also purchased a linear cabinet from Room & Board which can be used to house office supplies, but also can be used as a buffet when we have a special meal and plan to use the room as a dining room. Love the flexibility of using it usually as an office, but can also be used as a dining area. Perfect! Also great that this furniture is made in Minnesota and Wisconsin--love that!!

Customer comments about Parsons 60x36 Dining Table/Desk:
I bought this table to be used in our eat-in kitchen. Love this table for its durability, quality and style. The reclaimed chestnut looks great and is a hard enough wood top to receive intense use at times by my two young children. I added a bench on one side, stools on the other side, and chairs on each end to accent the table. Without that many high-backed chairs, the table is able to show-off! Highly recommend this table for everyday use to eat and do crafts on. High quality base and love the fact that the top can be replaced by another at R&B. Only complaint is the cost of it is on the high end, but I guess "you get what you pay for!"

This beautiful contemporary and classic Parsons Table is perfect for our kitchen. The one chosen has a solid maple top and black steel legs and blends in well with the darker hard wood floors.

Customer comments about Parsons 72x36 Dining Table/Desk:
We got 10 natural cherry spindle dining room chairs years ago but never had the proper matching table for them. The Parsons table fits the bill beautifully. The natural cherry grain is lovely and will darken naturally with time as our chairs have. The steel finish of the frame and legs has a nice finish.
Service and delivery comments:
Perfect, friendly, speedy delivery with lots of proactive communication so we knew exactly when they would come. It didn't blow our whole day as delivery sometimes does.

Customer comments about Parsons 78x42 Dining Table/Desk:
The table is beautiful. Solid, contemporary and something that will be a center piece of our home for years to come. The only (small)slight flaw - 'tho perhaps not a flaw- but just a varience in the wood grain or coloration, is that the end pieces of the wood at either long end, are not uniform in color / the grain is greatly differing in color. It's noticable. But not so much as to ruin the entire look.

Customer comments about Parsons 72x36 Dining Table/Desk:
This is the first time we have had space for a real dining room table and it has become the central hub for everything from family dinner parties to informal quick sit downs during the week, to a great place to spread out with a laptop and finish up work at night.
The butcherblock top adds a lot of warmth and is beautiful and sturdy in its construction while the natural steel legs blend in with the rest of the steel furniture we have.

Q:
What size parsons table would fit well in a dining room that is 11.5 feet by 12 feet with a door that swings in by 3 feet and reduces the length of the room to 8.5 feet by 12 feet?
Thank you!Asked on 4/25/2013 by Karandash1 answer
DESIGN ASSOCIATE
A:
Here are some additional dimensions to consider ...
24" of width is recommended for each person around the table
18-24" is needed from the edge of the table to get in and out of a chair
In addition you want almost 3' around the edge of the table for traffic and maneuvering, but some of that could include the space for getting in and out of the chair.
For you, a 36x60 table might be right and is most comfortable with 4 (sometimes 6) around the table. The 36x72 can comfortably seat 6. Maybe the 42x78. Measure your space to see how each feels. The great thing about the Parsons style with the legs at the corner is that you maximize the space along the sides. It also can be custom ordered By the Inch. Search Parsons to see this option towards the bottom of the page.Answered on 4/26/2013 by Design Associate from Room & Board
