Short answer: every dining table Cedora sells is 76cm to the top. The chairs are not standardised the same way: a Liverpool dining chair is 83cm overall and an Oxford is 88.7cm. Because the table is fixed, chair choice is the only variable in how a dining setting sits.
That is unusual and it is good news. Most ranges vary table height by two or three centimetres, which makes mixing chairs a gamble. Here the table is a constant, so any Cedora chair pairs with any Cedora table.
The Fixed Number
Seventy six centimetres is the middle of the standard dining table band, which runs roughly 71cm to 76cm. Sitting at the upper end suits taller diners and gives more clearance over the knees, and it means a chair with a 45cm to 48cm seat leaves the 25cm to 30cm gap that reads as comfortable.

Where the Chairs Differ
| Chair | Overall size |
|---|---|
| Liverpool Dining Chair | W54 x D54 x H83cm |
| Byron Acacia Dining Chair | W47.6 x D54.1 x H88.5cm |
| Oxford Acacia Dining Chair | W46.8 x D55 x H88.7cm |
The 5.7cm between a Liverpool chair and an Oxford chair is all in the backrest, and it changes the look of a room more than the comfort of the seat. A taller back reads formal and blocks more sightline across an open plan space. A lower back disappears under the table line when the chairs are pushed in.

Chair Width Is the Number That Decides Seating
Liverpool chairs are 54cm wide. Byron and Oxford are 47cm. That seven centimetres is what determines how many fit down a side of the table.
On a 240cm table, three Liverpool chairs per side need 162cm and leave room. Three Oxford chairs need 141cm, which is where a fourth becomes arguable. Comfortable spacing wants at least 60cm per person, so on width alone the narrower chair does not automatically buy you an extra seat.
Mixing Ranges
Because the table height is constant, an Oxford chair works at a Liverpool table on the numbers. The reason to hesitate is material rather than dimension: Oxford and Byron chairs are solid acacia, and Liverpool is a pine frame with an oak veneer, so the timber tone will not match.

Overall Height Is Not Seat Height
One clarification, because it is the most common misreading of a chair spec. The 83cm and 88.7cm figures above are overall height, measured to the top of the backrest. They are not seat heights.
Seat height is what governs comfort at the table, and the workable range against a 76cm top is a seat at 45cm to 48cm, which leaves the 28cm to 31cm of thigh clearance that most people read as right. A chair listed at 88.7cm overall tells you about the backrest and the visual weight, not about how it will feel to sit on.
When comparing chairs from outside the Cedora range, insist on the floor to seat measurement. Two chairs with identical overall heights can sit 6cm apart at the seat depending on how much of the height is backrest.
Seating a 190cm Table
The 190cm table is the more common of the two lengths, and the chair width difference shows up sharply on it.
| Table | Liverpool chairs, 54cm | Oxford or Byron chairs, 47cm |
|---|---|---|
| 190cm, per side | 3 at 162cm | 3 at 141cm |
| 240cm, per side | 4 at 216cm, tight | 4 at 188cm |
Three a side plus one at each end is six on a 190cm table and eight on a 240cm, which matches how Cedora sells the bundles. Pushing to four a side on a 190cm table technically fits the narrower chairs but leaves 47cm per person, well under the 60cm that reads as comfortable.
The Clearance Nobody Measures
Chair depth is 54cm to 55cm across all three, and that is the number that decides whether the room works. A diner needs roughly 75cm from the table edge to push back and stand, and a walkway behind them needs another 60cm.
So a 190cm table in a room needs about 190cm plus 150cm of clearance across the width, and 90cm plus 150cm along the depth. Under that, the chairs will fit and the room will not.
Frequently Asked Questions
How high is a Cedora dining table?
Every Cedora dining table is 76cm to the top, across all ranges and both the 190cm and 240cm lengths. That sits at the upper end of the standard 71cm to 76cm band.
Are Cedora dining chairs all the same height?
No. A Liverpool dining chair is 83cm overall, a Byron is 88.5cm and an Oxford is 88.7cm. The difference is in the backrest, not the seat.
Can I use Oxford chairs with a Liverpool table?
On dimensions, yes, because every Cedora dining table is 76cm high. The reason to hesitate is material: Oxford chairs are solid acacia while Liverpool is a pine frame with an oak veneer, so the timber tone will differ.
How many chairs fit along a 240cm table?
Three per side comfortably. Liverpool chairs are 54cm wide so three need 162cm, and Oxford chairs are 47cm so three need 141cm. Comfortable spacing wants at least 60cm per person, so a narrower chair does not automatically add a seat.
