An 18 ft boat-shaped top, wider at the middle

An 18 ft boat-shaped conference table is a true boardroom length, for a board that needs sixteen or more at one surface. Its top is 48 inches wide at the middle and curves in gently along both long sides to 42 inches at each end. Next to a rectangle, a boat-shaped boardroom table has a softer, more formal outline, gives a slightly easier view of the people on your own side, and seats the same number. Our guide to conference table shapes compares the two.

The top of this 18 foot boat-shaped conference table is 216 inches long, in three pieces, 1 and 1/8 inches thick with a 2mm PVC edge band, on a panel base with built-in wire management. 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 feet with 48 inches between the table edge and the walls, so chairs pull out and people can walk behind them.

The panel base, wire management, and power

The base is four hollow laminate panels, the same base as our rectangular panel-base tables, each 5 inches thick with squared corners and 24 inches wide across the table. That leaves at least 9 inches of tabletop beyond each panel on both long sides, more toward the middle where the top is widest, so knees clear them. Each panel has a swing door on one side, with a pull included, so you reach the plugs without crawling under the table, and a wire trough joins each panel to the next to carry the cords from one end to the other.

Pick one to three power grommets on this page and they are cut into the top before it ships, placed clear of the panels so no base needs a cut-out. Cords drop from each grommet and run inside the base to the outlet. Side-panel colors, silver metallic included, and up to three matching credenzas are picked on this page and built with the table.

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. A top 48 inches wide at the middle and 42 inches at the ends leaves room for laptops and a shared screen at the head.

How big a room do I need for an 18 foot boat-shaped conference table with panel base?

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 feet for this table. If nobody needs to pass behind a seated person, 36 inches from the table edge works, about 24 by 10 feet.

Will my power strip fit inside the base?

Yes. Each wire trough 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.

Can I add power to the table?

Yes. Pick one to three power grommets on this page and set them 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.

What is a boat-shaped conference table?

A table whose top is wider at the middle than at the ends, so both long sides curve out gently. This one is 48 inches across at the middle and 42 inches at each end, so each long side comes in 3 inches from the middle to the end. It seats the same as a rectangle of the same length. A boat narrows toward both ends, while a tapered top narrows from one end to the other. Some catalogs write it as one word: boatshape.

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?

A boat-shaped conference table on a panel base ships by freight, on one or more pallets depending on size, securely wrapped. It arrives in a handful of large, mostly assembled pieces: the three top sections, the four base panels and a wire trough to join each panel to the next go together in the room. It is not flat-pack furniture, so there is no bag of screws and loose panels to build from.
