Tenure 14 ft (168") Bow-End Conference Table on 12-Inch Panel Bases, 48 Inches Deep, Seats 12-14

It seats up to 14 at 24 inches of width per seat along the two long sides, or 12 with more elbow room, the same as a rectangle of the same length. Each curved end is still the full 48 inches across, so the head and foot each keep a chair.

Leave 48 inches from the table edge to every wall so chairs pull out and people can walk behind seated guests: about 22 by 12 feet for this table. If nobody needs to pass behind a seated person, 36 inches from the table edge works, about 20 by 10 feet.

Yes, in the troughs: each wire trough between the bases has 12 by 5 and 3/4 inches of clear space inside, enough for a power strip and its brick. A cord hole near the top of each base opens into the trough beside it, and the swing door on the base lets you reach the plugs.

Yes. Pick one or two power grommets on this page and choose whether they run across or along the table; some grommet types also take a connection plate for network jacks, or for HDMI and VGA. Power is chosen with the order because it is cut into the top before it ships; it is not added to a finished table.

A table whose top runs straight along both long sides, like a rectangle, but whose two ends bow outward in a gentle curve instead of a flat edge. This one is 48 inches deep all along its straight sides. A boat-shaped top curves along its long sides instead, widest at the middle and narrower at both ends. A racetrack rounds each end into a full half circle as wide as the top, so much more of its length is curve. What the curved ends give a long table is mostly a softer outline at the head and foot; the long sides stay straight, so the side seats sit as they would at a rectangle.

Either long side. Each base has its door on one side, and the bases are turned to the side you want when the table goes together in the room, so the doors can open toward the side nearer your outlet.

By default they come in Glacier White. On this page you can give them any other laminate color at no charge, or choose silver metallic side panels, an add-on built with the table.

Sections over 96 inches cannot ship by freight, so a 168-inch top comes in two sections, each a two-person carry. They meet at a seam across the table in the room, and on woodgrain colors the grain will not line up perfectly across it.

A bow-end table on 12-inch bases ships by freight on one or more pallets depending on size, securely wrapped, and arrives as a handful of large pieces: the top in two sections, three bases and a wire trough for each gap between them, which go together in the room. It is not flat-pack: there is no bag of screws and no pile of loose panels to build from.
