Should a buffet be longer than a dining table?

1 Answer
Should a buffet be longer than a dining table?
No, a buffet usually shouldn't be longer than a dining table. Most experts recommend that you choose a buffet that is the same length or slightly shorter than your dining table. Keeping the two pieces in proportion with each other creates balance within a space.
