Can you fit three chairs on the sides for a total of eight chairs or is it a maximum of six?

You cannot use the same chairs to get 8 people at the table. However, I have used two smaller chairs and we were able to accommodate 8 for dinner. We had to be careful of who was left handed vs right handed but work out.

We have managed to fit 8 around the table, but three chairs will not fit fully underneath the table's side and it is a little tight. Overall, we love this table and have had it for over two years.

We have had 8 around the table, but the three chairs on the side do not fit all the way under the table -- so a little tight but workable. We've had this table for two years and love it.

the table was designed for six. So to answer your question no only two chairs on the sides, for total of six.

It's max is six. Having said that the table is solid wood and received in good condition.

all 6 chairs do not fit. 2 on each side fit, but the 2 end chairs needs to be pulled out a bit

Yes you can push the chairs in further if you have all eight. Although I have 4 chairs and 2 really nice cream colored leathered benches, with the same color wood as the table and chairs, I purchased the benches at the Roomplace. It looks really nice. I love the chairs.

I have one with 40 metal folding chairs (not padded seats) on it now, with room to spare. It looks like it could hold another 20, bringing its metal folding chair capacity to 60, maybe as many as 80 tops perhaps.

Yes you can 5 easily and 6 still if you needed to. I bought two extra chairs from Furniture Cart to match this set.

Yes, 3 chairs can fit on the long side. There is still 1 inch gap between each chair. Don't know if you can buy extra chairs though. If not from Amazon maybe from the seller directly.

The published information states that it will hold 84 chairs (7 per peg). Since we are moving it around over some rough surfaces, we've dropped it to 72 chairs (6 per peg) and had no problems. It's a nice sturdy rack.

It's the price of two chairs. If you want to buy six chairs then you need to order 3.

Yes, you could fit two chairs if you place them either side by side (Won't have a whole bunch of elbow room) as if it were up against a wall, or one at the front and one at back.

Depending on what chairs you have~ maybe?!? I would say more like 8 people comfortably

No, although the chairs MAY fit themselves, there is not enough room to have 3 people sit on one side.

I have small folding chairs and can fit 3 on the sides, and 1 each on the ends. If you have larger chairs it will be hard to fit 3 on each side. Also, the table is not heavy and tends to slide. I used it for a kids party (age 8) and it was fine.

Six is most comfortable for us because I like a little space between people, but, because the table is oval and legs are positioned from the middle of table, 7 or 8 chairs is possible. We have had six large men sitting at table with plenty of room.

6 adults comfortably. You might be able to fit 1 more armless chair on each side. So 8 adults. I haven't tried that.

At least 84 padded cosco folding chairs (7 per rack * 12 racks). You can probably fit 96 unpadded chairs (8 per rack * 12 racks) since the padding does take up some space. If you need it to hold more chairs try removing the pins on the end of each rack arm, you may be able to get an additional chair per rack that way; though the chairs may easily fall off depending on the chair finish.

Yes you can fit 2 chairs at each side. This is a great dining table. We love the set.
