An octagonal table is both captivating and large. However, the sides can be a little narrow if you are seating folks over 200 pounds. I would make sure to leave the benches detached if this is the case, so each man can scoot their bench out as far as necessary. One of the nicest features of this type of table is that each man has their own defined space. The biggest drawback is that you are little to eight people, so if you are captivating more than that, you need a second table.
