For a sofa and chairs located in the dining area, height from floor to seat is of particular importance. In standard models, it reaches 50 cm.Seat depth should be:
- not less than 45 cm;
- no more than 70 cm.

In order for the sofa to maintain its functionality and be able to accommodate a family of several people at the table, it must be at least 100 per 100 cm in parameters. A more convenient option is 110 by 110 cm. The dimensions of the kitchen corners for a small kitchen can be even more modest. But they are not suitable for family dinners.

When choosing furniture of this type, it is necessary to take into account the parameters of the sofa when unfolded. The size of the berth should be at least 180 x 60 cm. The width of the double option should start from 120 cm.
In the kitchen of a small apartment, most likely, with the sofa spread out, there will be no room for a table. Therefore, choosing a headset with a berth, it is advisable to make sure that the table has a transformable design. Chairs are also better to have folding.
The minimum dimensions of furniture for a dining room with a berth are 191 x 78 x 116 cm.
