Will your dining table fit through the front door and down the hallway to the dining room? Check tabletop size, leg removal, and clearance at every point.
Remove the table legs before moving — it reduces the profile to just the tabletop (1–3" thick). A tabletop up to 42" wide fits through standard 32" doors when angled. The hallway corner turn is the hardest part for long tables (72–96"). Protect the surface with moving blankets.
Remove legs — hallway corners are the challenge for long tables.
Measure the tabletop length, width, and thickness, plus overall height with legs. Standard dining tables are 72–96" long and 36–42" wide. Most tables have removable legs — detach them to reduce the profile to just the tabletop (typically 1–3" thick).
Run the a Dining Table Fit Through a Door CalculatorWith legs removed, a dining tabletop can usually be tilted on its side and slid through a standard 32" door. The critical measurement is table width (36–42") vs. door clear width. If the table is round (48–60" diameter), the diagonal through the door is the key.
Run the a Dining Table Fit Through a Door CalculatorA dining table carried on its side through a hallway needs the corridor to be wider than the table thickness (with legs removed) or width (with legs attached). The challenge is turning corners — a 96" table needs significant pivot space at any 90-degree hallway turn.
