An 8 ft racetrack top with half-round ends

An 8 ft racetrack conference table is the compact length, for a room where ten feet would crowd the walls. Its top runs straight along both long sides and ends in a full half-round at each end, so it keeps its 48 inch depth all along the straight run. Many tables sold as an oval conference table are this shape, but a true oval curves all along its sides; a racetrack stays straight between its two rounded ends. Our guide to conference table shapes compares it with a boat and a rectangle.

The top of this 8 foot racetrack conference table is 96 inches long from end to end, in one piece, 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.

  • Thermally-fused laminate surface and UV clear coat
  • CARB 2 compliant materials throughout
  • Made in the USA
  • 15-year warranty

02 · Description

Eight seats on a racetrack top

With a chair on each rounded end and three along each side at 30 inches apiece, the outer ones on the curve, it seats 8. That is the same count as a rectangle of this length. Plan on about 16 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 under this racetrack conference table is two 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. Along the straight sides the top reaches 12 inches past each side of the panels, 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 or three power grommets on this page and they are cut into the top before it ships (three run across the table only), 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 8 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. At 48 inches deep along its straight sides, the top leaves room for a laptop in front of every seat.

How big a room do I need for an 8 foot racetrack 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 16 by 12 feet for this table. If nobody needs to pass behind a seated person, 36 inches from the table edge works, about 14 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 or three power grommets on this page and set them across or along the table (three run across the table only). 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 racetrack conference 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 48 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.

Does the top have a seam?

No. At 96 inches the top is a single board. Tops over 96 inches ship in sections, which is why the longer lengths in this line have one or two seams.

How does it ship and arrive?

A racetrack 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 one top section, the two 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.
