Selecting the Right Tables for Your Office
No matter what type of business you own, office tables are a necessity for holding conferences, conducting work involving projects too large for desks, or providing a suitable place for your employees to take their lunch. However, you should keep a few things in mind when choosing office tables for your business.
What is their purpose? Are you looking for a conference table or a break room table? Will you or other office members use it to perform tasks with large amounts of paperwork? If so, take a look at our wide variety of conference, training, occasional, cafe, and guest tables. We carry everything from low profile coffee tables for seating areas to multi-purpose work tables.
What is the approximate number of people the table will need to seat? If you conduct training or hold orientations, then you may want to consider our used training tables. Having a table that is too small doesn’t allow all attendees the space necessary to write or spread out working materials. Our used training tables that come in several sizes, with both fixed or folding legs, which are the perfect solution for this common space issue. Many of our tables are mobile and can be nested for easy storage.
What do you want the table to say about your office? Your conference table style suggests different management structures. For example, long tables with clear “head of table” seating like the 10’, 15’, or 20’ used Racetrack table with center electrical feed promotes a hierarchy management style where the main players generally sit at the far ends. On the other hand, the used wood rectangular conference tables suggests more equality and focus in the office. To determine the seating capacity, the general rule is one seat per foot with a seat at each end. We would be happy to help guide you in the right direction when purchasing your new or used office tables.
