What To Look For In A Conference Room Table

The conference room is where important decisions are made and ideas are shared

. Your conference room table should be functional and, at the same time, help the room exude what you want it to exude - whether that is professionalism, authority or creativity. Here are the things you would want to look at in order to find the right table for you:

The shape of your conference room table emphasizes the distribution of authority amongst the members. A round table suggests equal status among those involved. Other shapes that have ends, like rectangular, boat shape and oval, may suggest that there is one or two who hold the most power. Usually, whoever sits at the head or end of the table is considered the boss. A table can be oriented in such a way that the highest authority sits at the head or another orientation may put the same person in the middle. Either way, this position puts the person with the most authority as the center of attention. In some cases, both ends can be freed to allow space for those who will present during meetings.

After the shape, you should consider the size next. In that specific conference room, how many people will gather? Your table should be able to accommodate as many people as you will need to gather. A large table will separate the members and discourage interaction while a small table evokes a sense of intimacy. Your table should also be proportional to your room. If you only want to have a small table but your room is huge, consider dividing the space and allot the excess for other purposes. Large excess space will overwhelm the table and a large table will crowd a tiny room.

It is important that the table is sturdy. It should be able to withstand a lot of weight and should not wobble. Weight distribution on the table, at any time, is not equal and the table should be able to handle that. Inspect the base if it is sturdy.

The overall design of the conference table also says something about the office or the company itself. The table should tie in with the conference rooms design. You can decorate the room according to your liking but the appearance of the room will affect the mood of the meeting. A minimalist and modern design provides a serious aura and a room with soft colors and soft lines encourages members to feel at ease and at home. Likewise, if you want everybody to churn out new ideas, you might want to look at unusual, interesting and inspiring table designs.

The material of your conference room table contributes to its durability. Whether you are getting something in wood, glass or metal, it is important to check the quality of the material. What the table is made of can also contribute other functions the table may serve. A waterproof surface may allow food and drinks to be placed on the table. A glass surface may allow a display to be placed beneath it. An opaque surface can hide storage underneath the table.
