An 18 ft boat-shaped top, 54 inches at the middle, on 12-inch bases

When a board outgrows 16 feet, the next length is the 18 ft boat-shaped conference table on 12-inch panel bases, 54 inches wide, the first whose top comes in three sections. The width is measured at the middle; from there each long side curves in 5 inches, to 44 inches at each end. The extra width over a 48-inch top goes to the center of the table, between the two rows of seats, as working room for documents, a shared display and power. A boat seats the same number as a rectangle of the same length, with a softer, more formal outline and a slightly easier view of the people on your own side; our guide to conference table shapes compares the two.

The top of this 18 foot boat-shaped conference table on 12-inch panel bases, 54 inches wide, is 1 and 1/8 inches thick with a 2mm PVC edge band. Built to order in Dallas and Los Angeles.

02 · Description

A boardroom length, 16 to 18 seats

Nine chairs fit along each long side at 24 inches apiece, 18 seats; at 30 inches each, with a chair at each end, it seats 16. Plan on about 26 by 12 1/2 feet with 48 inches between the table edge and the walls, so chairs pull out and people can walk behind them.

The 12-inch bases under a 54-inch boat top, and where the cords go

Each of the four bases 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 30 inches wide across it. The bases keep that width while the top widens toward the middle, so the top reaches at least 7 inches past each base on both long sides, and more toward the middle. Our 5-inch panel base is also 30 inches wide under this top; these bases are 7 inches thicker along the table, so they read as blocks under the curve rather than slim uprights and take that much more room from the chairs beside them. 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, and a swing door on one side, with a 3 inch pull, lets you reach the plugs without crawling under the table; the three wire troughs between the bases carry the cords from one end to the other.

Pick one to three power grommets for this 54 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: over the wire opening in the top of a base, or between the bases. Cords drop from each grommet 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.

05 · FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people does this table seat?

It seats up to 18 at 24 inches of width per seat along the two long sides, or 16 with more elbow room. The count comes from the length; the width at the middle adds working room down the center, not chairs.

How big a room do I need for an 18 foot boat-shaped table on 12-inch panel bases, 54 inches wide?

Leave 48 inches from the table edge to every wall so chairs pull out and people can walk behind seated guests: about 26 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 24 by 10 1/2 feet.

Will my power strip fit inside the base?

Yes, in a trough: each of the three wire troughs between the bases has 12 by 5 and 3/4 inches of clear space inside, room for a power strip and its brick. Each base has a cord hole near its top on the side facing a trough, so cords pass from the base into the trough beside it.

Can I add power to the table?

Yes. Pick one to three power grommets on this page and choose whether they run across or along the table. The 2-outlet and 6-outlet grommets each take one connection plate, for network and phone jacks or for HDMI, VGA and audio. Power is picked with the order because the grommets are built into the top, not added to a finished table.

What makes a table boat-shaped?

Its top is wider at the middle than at the ends, so both long sides bow out gently toward the middle. A boat narrows toward both ends, while a tapered top narrows from one end to the other. Catalogs also write the shape as one word, boatshape.

How does it compare with the 48-inch boat-shaped table on these bases?

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. Both take the same number of bases and seat the same at every length both are made in; the bases under this top are 30 inches wide across the table, against 24 under the 48-inch top. At the same 48 inches from the table edge to the walls, the room needs to be 6 inches wider for this top, and the 48-inch top also comes in 8 and 10 ft.

Which side of the table do the base doors face?

Either long side. Each base has its door in one side panel, and the bases are turned at install so the doors face the side you choose, such as the side nearer your outlet.

What color are the side panels?

The color of the top, unless you pick another laminate color for them on this page, at no charge. The other choice is silver metallic side panels, an add-on built with the table.

Why does the top come in three pieces?

Sections over 96 inches cannot ship by freight, so a 216-inch top comes in three sections, each a two-person carry. They meet at two seams across the table in the room, and on woodgrain colors the grain will not line up perfectly across them.

How does it ship and arrive?

It ships by freight on one or more pallets depending on size, securely wrapped, and arrives as a handful of large pieces: the boat-shaped top in three sections, four bases and the three wire troughs that join them, which go together in the room. It is not flat-pack furniture: there is no bag of screws and no pile of loose panels to build from.
