Seven chairs fit along each long side at 24 inches apiece, 14 seats, the same count at 30 inches each with a chair at each end. Plan on about 23 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, so it stands 12 inches in from each long edge and knees clear it. Our 5-inch panel base is the same 24 inches wide on a 48 inch top, so the difference is thickness: this base reads as a squared block under the top rather than a slim upright, and it takes 7 inches more room from the chairs beside it. Our guide to conference table bases calls this style a rectangular pedestal, and because each base is a box, this pedestal conference table carries its cords inside: the opening at the top and bottom of each base is 10 by 10 and 1/2 inches, several times the cord path of the 5-inch panel. A swing door on one side of each base, 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 to three power grommets for this 48 inch deep 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. Side panels in laminate or silver metallic, and up to three matching credenzas, are chosen on this page and built with the table.
