I have been having same problem with a table for my eat in kitchen, and I don't have a dining room, so the kitchen is it. After the cabinets and countertop, the remaining "floor space" is about 9.5' x 12'. I have a 42 x 60" table in there now, and it is a little wide, but there is enough room that in a dining room the same size, I could fit a shallow server without too much problem as long I didn't plan to add the 2 leaves to it. One leaf would be very tight but might be doable. However, because it is a kitchen, not a dining room, and I want more room to walk around while I work in the kitchen than I would need in a dining room, I want to go even smaller. In my case, there is a door from the garage leading into the kitchen and I also don't want the table to obstruct traffic flow. This is what I found in researching my options, which are even more restrictive than yours: Some manufacturers (like Nichols and Stone) make a 38 X 60" table that might be more comfortable in that room. You might even consider an oval, which is what I am considering for a kitchen table, to help that bumping into the corners thing, also. If I could find a 38" round with a couple of 18" leaves, I could have the best of both worlds. It would give me the narrower width, I could keep one leaf in it to make to a small oval, have no corners to bump into, and another leaf to extend the table only when I need it. With the price of nice sets like N&S and Canadel, I am wondering if I could have one custom made by a local creaftsman. Anyway, I would not try to put a server in it, too. If hubby is handy or you could hire someone, you could get a built in hutch or something. That might make a serving area more comfortably "doable". If you really are set on getting a server, I would go with the smallest round you can find and a shallow server at the long end of the room, or a rectangular table like you describe but know you will not comfortably be able to use the leaves.

I would push chairs in as far as they comfortably go. I was just noticing that the seats are not completely under the table and still reach nearly to the center column. They may be extra deep as well as wide. That would also make the table seem smaller. I pulled up Wayfair to check chair sizes and they have several styles similar to what you have chosen but with an 18" width. You might want to look there if you want something similar to the wider ones.

I have a 36", 1" thick marble round weighing approx 95 lbs. I am considering purchasing this base on CL for the marble (see link below) If you can't see the link, it's a Victorian style cast iron tripod base. The diameter of the legs is 18" and the square plate at the top is 9.75" across. I like the tripod base because I plan to put 3 bistro chairs around the table, and prefer not to fiddle with staggering chairs around 4 legs. My questions are: Is my marble round too big for this base? Will the table be prone to tipping? I plan to roll out dough on this table, in addition to using it for casual dining. If I can use the marble with the base, how do you recommend attaching? Should I glue plywood underneath the marble? Or take the marble to a stone fabricator to drill holes?https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/for/d/beautiful-heavy-duty-vintage/6584600023.html
