Tenure 18 ft (216") Bow-End Conference Table on 9-Inch Boat-Shaped Bases, 54 Inches Deep, Seats 16-18

It seats up to 18 at 24 inches of width per seat along the two long sides, or 16 with more elbow room, the same as a rectangle of the same length. Each curved end is still the full 54 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 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.

Yes. The three wire troughs between the bases have 12 by 5 and 3/4 inches of clear space inside, room for a power strip and its brick, and each base is hollow with a 5 by 9 inch opening at its top and bottom, so cords from a grommet run down inside a base to the outlet. These bases have no wire access door as standard. A door is not listed on this page, so ask before ordering and we will quote it.

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, each placed where the page shows it; when one sits over a base, the factory notches that base for the cord drop at no extra charge. Power is picked with the order because it is built into the top, 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 54 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; on this table the boat shape is in the bases under the top, not in the top itself. 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.

At 12 ft, yes. Our conference table with credenza is this bow-end top on the same boat-shaped base, with a wood edge band, built-in power and a wire access door in the base, sold with a 78-inch buffet credenza and a wall presentation board. This page is the table alone, with a 2mm PVC edge, and up to three 72-inch credenzas can be added to it here.

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.

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 boat-shaped bases 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.
