So much will depend on layout and furnishings. At 1000 sq ft, we technically have only 4 desks - but we have a wide variety of other seating/tables and our communal seats tend to fill up first. I think we've had as many as 18 in at once, with still more seats free. It was definitely humming that day but very doable.
