Tenure 20 ft (240") Racetrack Conference Table on 12-Inch Panel Bases, 60 Inches Deep, Seats 18-20

It seats 18 with a chair on each rounded end and 30 inches of width per seat along the sides, the seats nearest the ends sitting on the curve, or up to 20 squeezed to 24 inches. At 60 inches deep along its straight sides, the top leaves room for a laptop in front of every seat.

Leave 48 inches from the table edge to every wall so chairs pull out and people can walk behind seated guests: about 28 by 13 feet for this table. If nobody needs to pass behind a seated person, 36 inches from the table edge works, about 26 by 11 feet.

Yes, in the troughs: each wire trough between the bases has 12 by 5 and 3/4 inches of clear space inside, enough for a power strip and its brick. A cord hole near the top of each base opens into the trough beside it, and the swing door on the base 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; some grommet types also take a connection plate for network jacks, or for HDMI and VGA. Power is chosen with the order because it is cut into the top before it ships; it is not added to a finished table.

A table whose top runs straight along both long sides and ends in a half-round at each end, like a running track. On this table each end is a half circle 60 inches across, the full width of the top, so the chairs at the head and foot sit on the curves and the top has no sharp corners. A rectangle with rounded corners keeps its flat ends and rounds only the corners, to a 4-inch radius. A boat-shaped top curves along its long sides instead, widest at the middle and narrower at both ends. Because the long sides of a racetrack are straight, it does not make it easier to see down the table; what the rounded ends give a long table is a softer look.

Either long side. Each base has its door on one side, and the bases are turned to the side you want when the table goes together in the room, so the doors can open toward the side nearer your outlet.

By default they come in Glacier White. On this page you can give them any other laminate color at no charge, or choose silver metallic side panels, an add-on built with the table.

Sections over 96 inches cannot ship by freight, so a 240-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.

A racetrack table on 12-inch bases ships by freight on one or more pallets depending on size, securely wrapped, and arrives as a handful of large pieces: the top in three sections, four bases and a wire trough for each gap between them, which go together in the room. It is not flat-pack: there is no bag of screws and no pile of loose panels to build from.
