How wide does a conference table need to be?

The practical minimum is 36", but the commercial standard is 42"–48" — wide enough for laptops on both sides without elbows crowding the middle. Executive boardroom tables typically run 48"–54" wide. Beyond 60" wide, cross-table conversation gets awkward unless the room is very large. FindOfficeFurniture.com's most popular conference tables fall in the 42"–48" range — call 888-719-4960.
