Tenure 15 ft (180") Boat-Shaped Conference Table with Panel Base, 54 Inches Wide, Seats 14

It seats 14 at 24 inches of width per seat along the two long sides. The count comes from the length, so the extra width at the middle goes to working room down the center, not to more chairs.

Leave 48 inches from the table edge to every wall so chairs pull out and people can walk behind seated guests: about 23 by 12 1/2 feet for this table. If nobody needs to pass behind a seated person, 36 inches from the table edge works, about 21 by 10 1/2 feet.

Yes. Each of the three wire troughs between the base panels has 12 by 5 and 3/4 inches of clear space inside, room for a power strip and its brick, and the swing door on each base panel lets you reach the plugs.

Yes. Pick one to three power grommets on this page and choose whether they run across or along the table. They are cut into the top before it ships, placed clear of the base panels. Power is picked with the order because it is built into the top, not added to a finished table.

Its top is wider at the middle than at the ends, so both long sides curve out toward the middle. A boat narrows toward both ends, while a tapered top narrows from one end to the other. Next to a rectangle of the same length it seats the same number, with a softer, more formal outline and a slightly easier view of the people on your own side. The shape is also written as one word, boatshape.

This top is 54 inches wide at the middle and 44 at each end, against 48 and 42 on the 48-inch boat, so each long side curves in 5 inches instead of 3. Seat counts match at every length both are made in. The base panels under this top are 30 inches wide across the table, against 24 under the 48-inch top, and this top is made from 12 ft up, while the 48-inch top also comes shorter.

Sections over 96 inches cannot ship by freight, so a 180-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.

By freight, on one or more pallets depending on size, securely wrapped. It arrives in a handful of large, mostly assembled pieces: the two top sections, the four base panels and the three wire troughs that join them go together in the room. It is not flat-pack furniture, so there is no bag of screws and loose panels to build from.
