Conference Tables — Expert Answer

What is the standard surface overhang on a conference table edge?

The standard overhang — the distance the tabletop extends beyond the base or leg — is typically 12"–18" on the long sides and 6"–12" on the ends of a conference table. This overhang allows chairs to tuck in properly and gives seated users comfortable legroom. Tables with pedestals or T-bases often allow greater overhang than those with panel legs.
