Edge of/side of the room

Dear teachers,

How would you say: "I was seated at the edge of the room" (in, for instance, a restaurant).

Many thanks.

Our table was against the back wall. We were seated right next to the window. The best tables are along the perimeter of the room.

Thank you!

Is using 'sitting at/on the edge of the room' completely wrong, by the way?

Yes.

You could sit around the edges of a room. Imagine a large hall with a dancefloor in the middle but lots of single chairs with their backs against each wall. If the music is terrible and no-one is dancing, they might all be sitting on the chairs round the edges.
