An 8 ft racetrack top with half-round ends, on a slim panel base

An 8 ft racetrack conference table on a slim panel base is the compact length, for a room where ten feet would crowd the walls. Its top keeps its full 48 inch depth all along the straight run between its two rounded ends. Looking for an oval conference table on a slim panel base? Many tables sold as oval are racetracks like this one; a true oval curves all along its sides. Our guide to conference table shapes compares it with a boat and a rectangle.

Under the top stand two solid laminate panels, each 2 and 3/8 inches thick. That is less than half as thick as our 5-inch panel base, so each panel takes less room from the chairs beside it. The top rests directly on the panels.

The top of this 8 foot racetrack conference table with slim panel base is 96 inches long from end to end, in one piece, 1 and 1/8 inches thick with a 2mm PVC edge band. 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
  • Ships in 2-3 weeks.

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 slim panel base under a racetrack top, the wire troughs, and power

Each panel under this slim panel base racetrack table is two 1 and 1/8 inch laminate boards with a 1/8 inch black reveal between them, edged in 2mm PVC, the same panels as under our rectangular slim panel-base tables of this depth. It stands 24 inches wide across the table, so along the straight sides the top reaches 12 inches past each side of a panel and knees clear it. At the floor it has a recessed black kickplate, 3/4 inch high, and leveling glides. The panels have no hollow inside and no wire access door, so cords do not run down through them. They run in the wire troughs between the panels instead. Our guide on how to choose a conference table base compares this base with our hollow panel and pedestal bases.

Pick one to three power grommets on this page (two run across the table only). Each one is placed clear of the panels, so no base needs a cut-out. Up to three 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 a slim 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.

Where do the cords go on this base?

Into the wire troughs, not the panels. A trough joins each panel to the next, with 12 by 5 and 3/4 inches of clear space inside, and a panel that stands between two troughs has a wire hole near its top, so cords pass on to the next trough.

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 (two run across the table only). Power is picked with the order because it is cut into the top before it ships, 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 slim panel base ships by freight, on one or more pallets depending on size, securely wrapped. It arrives in a handful of large pieces that go together in the room: the top in one section, the two base panels, and a wire trough for each gap between them. It is not flat-pack furniture: no bag of screws, no building from scratch.
