A spec table only helps if the buyer reads it. Many don't — shoppers routinely try to judge a product's size straight from the images, and wrong size or fit is the most-cited reason things get returned. The fix is to mark the real dimensions on the photo itself, where the buyer is already looking.
SizeMarker snaps dimension lines to the dining table's edges and exports at Amazon or Alibaba size, so the measurement is accurate and legible — not a guess typed over the picture. That answers the size question up front and cuts pre-sale questions and size-driven returns.

About 60 × 36 in (152 × 91 cm) as a rectangle, or a 5 ft / 60 in (152 cm) round table.
28–30 in (71–76 cm), most commonly 30 in (76 cm). Counter-height tables are 36 in (91 cm) and bar-height 42 in (107 cm).
Allow at least 24 in (61 cm) of table width per diner so place settings and elbows do not overlap.
At least 36 in (91 cm) from the table edge to walls or furniture so chairs can be pulled out; 42–48 in (107–122 cm) is more comfortable.
8 seats ≈ 72 × 42 in (183 × 107 cm) rectangular or a 6 ft (183 cm) round; 10 seats ≈ 96 × 44 in (244 × 112 cm) rectangular or a 7 ft (213 cm) round.
