C is a chair, T is a table.

Will dwarves share a table as shown on the left? Or will I need it to be double wide for maximum capacity?

[Jim Groovester]

You need the one on the right. Dwarves will complain about the lack of tables if you do the left.

[Dakk]

Not only that, to answer OP's question, dwarves will not share the same table, each dwarf needs a table and a throne to succesfully use them to dine.

[Skelodwarf]

Drat, that means I need to remove and rebuild all of my chairs and tables.

(Takes longer than it should since I'm going through and only picking masterpiece ones.

[Snall]

Swanky.  My dwarves get a nicely polished, carved, dinning room, but normal chairs and tables.  Masterpiece is for the nobles' offices.

He's right, you just need a large room with crap-load of engraving plus a few statue for good measure, you'll get a dining room of royal proportion.

[Skelodwarf]

Oh, it's already a legendary dining hall, outfitted to be able to feed 320 at a time when it's finished. As for now I only have about 80 tables and 80 chairs, along with the 40-60 masterpiece statues lining the walls. Or should I say the walls that were engraved by two +5 engravers. (The floors are engraved too )

Swanky indeed.

[Snall]

...why must everyone make my dwarves angry they live in my hovel fortresses....

Engrave your stockpile rooms, it'll take bloody ages but you'll train someone up to make masterpieces without wasting your main areas.

[InsanityPrelude]

My main dining rooms don't have masterpiece furniture, but they have fookin' bone thrones. Extra dwarfy that way.

[Skorpion]

My dining rooms are just smoothed, engraved, set into ore seams, and have artifact furniture stuck in as a centerpiece.

[Neoskel]

It doesn't really matter how swanky you make the dining area, chances are that your dwarves are just gonna eat live rats at those masterpiece tables. Ignoring the real food even.

Dwarves...

Very dwarfy indeed! Dining hall megaproject!

does doing an engraving grant more xp than smoothing a wall?

Yes. Although when it's pretty busy, you might get a dwarf or two who got snubbed from having a table to put their food on, so they'll complain.

It's usually best having one table being accessible by one chair.
