Diagonal square dining table with four box armchairs
Free CAD block from the Dining tables with chairs library (86 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Diagonal square dining table with four box armchairs, drawn in plan, front and side elevation, the front and side elevations projected from its 3D model with hidden lines removed. It measures 6' 1" wide, 6' 1" deep and 2' 10" high (1.85 m × 1.85 m × 86 cm), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Dining tables with chairs library: 86 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Box armchairs add bulk, so this diagonal square set is the one for a generous dining room in a house, a boardroom lunch corner or a private dining room in a hotel. Use it on a floor plan to show a formal table for four that still fills a 13 ft (4 m) room, with the armchairs stepping out beyond the table edge on each diagonal.
Clearances to leave
Four box armchairs push the footprint to 6 ft 1 in (185 cm) square, about 18 in (45 cm) more each way than with light chairs. Leave 36 in (90 cm) behind each armchair so it can slide back on carpet and 48 in (120 cm) on the door side; a room narrower than 12 ft (3.7 m) feels pinched.
Pairs with
Match the box armchairs with the Boxy armchair with wide wraparound frame in the adjoining living room, and the Small square side table with inset top beside it. A rug cut to the diagonal, rather than the room, ties the set together.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 6' 1" | 1.85 m wide by 6' 1" | 1.85 m deep. The drawing is 1:1, full size, so it inserts at the right size in metric and in imperial drawings.
Is there a 3D model of this block?
Yes. A 3D model built from this block's drawings, 6' 3" wide, 6' 3" deep and 2' 10" high, is free to download in STEP, DXF 3D, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL. It is a closed part, so it also prints at 1:50 or 1:100 for a scale model.
File formats, AutoCAD versions and units are explained on the formats page; every file is free for personal and commercial work under the license.
