Seven chairs fit along each long side at 24 inches apiece, 14 seats; at 30 inches each, with a chair at each end, it seats 12. Plan on about 22 by 12 feet with 48 inches between the table edge and the walls, so chairs pull out and people can walk behind them.
Each base is a hollow box of 3/4 inch laminate panels with 2mm PVC edges and squared, non-radiused corners, 12 inches thick along the table and 24 inches wide across it. The bases keep that width while the top widens toward the middle, so the top reaches at least 9 inches past each base on both long sides, and more toward the middle. Our 5-inch panel base is the same 24 inches wide under this top, so the difference is thickness: this base reads as a block under the curve rather than a slim upright, and it takes 7 inches more room from the chairs beside it. Our guide on how to choose a conference table base calls this style a rectangular pedestal. Each base is open 10 by 10 and 1/2 inches at its top and bottom for the cords. A swing door on one side, with a 3 inch pull, lets you reach the plugs without crawling under the table, and a wire trough bridges each gap between neighboring bases to carry the cords from end to end.
Pick one or two power grommets for this 48 inch boat-shaped conference table on 12-inch panel bases and they are cut into the top before it ships, and where one sits over a base panel, the factory notches that panel for the cord drop at no extra charge; the cords run down through the troughs and the hollow bases to the outlet. Up to three matching credenzas can be added on this page and are built with the table.
