This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ok. This is a minor question that hopefully will get cleared up in the DMG.

But has anyone seen anywhere in the PHB or MM what the size factors actually are?

How big is medium? How big is small?

I know its fairly freewheeling. But a little guideline would be nice.

PHB is the closest I've seen. Medium is described as 5-8 ft and small is 2-4 ft.

There are some space guidelines on Page 2 of Dungeon Master's Basic Rules Version 0.1

Sorry for the godawful formatting.

Size Space Examples
Tiny 2½ by 2½ ft. Imp, sprite
Small 5 by 5 ft. Giant rat, goblin
Medium 5 by 5 ft. Orc, werewolf
Large 10 by 10 ft. Hippogriff, ogre
Huge 15 by 15 ft. Fire giant, treant
Gargantuan 20 by 20 ft. or larger Kraken, purple worm

Yeah, the space occupied chart is it and it doesnt really say alot other than a orc and a goblin take up the same 5x5 space. Goblins are apparently now related to puffer fish? aheh...
