How to size a boardroom table
Start with the room, not the table. Measure wall to wall, then work inward.
- Allow about 30 inches of table edge per seated person, and more for large executive chairs.
- Leave at least 42 inches between the table edge and the wall or credenza so people can pull out chairs and walk behind them.
- Keep the end of the table back from the screen wall so everyone can see the display.
Choose a shape
Rectangular tables seat the most people. Boat-shaped and racetrack tables improve sightlines in long rooms. Round and square tables suit small meeting rooms for four to six. Tables that split into modules can be rearranged for training sessions.
Power and data
Decide where laptops, screens and video conferencing will connect before you order. Many boardroom tables can take a power and data unit in the top, with cable management down the base. Tell us where your floor box or wall outlets are.
Chairs and the rest of the room
Pair the table with ergonomic or executive chairs for long meetings, or stacking guest chairs for training rooms. To enclose a meeting room without building walls, ask about glass office walls. For quick calls away from the boardroom, see meeting pods.

Common questions about boardroom & conference tables
What size boardroom table do I need?
Allow about 30 inches of table edge per person and at least 42 inches of clearance behind each chair. A table for eight is usually 8 to 10 feet long, which needs a room roughly 15 feet long once clearance is added. Send us your room dimensions and headcount and we will check the fit before you order.
Can a boardroom table include power and data?
Yes. Power and data options are available for boardroom tables, with units in the top and cable management through the base. Tell us how many people need power, whether you use video conferencing, and where your floor box or wall outlets are, and we will put the right options in the quote.
How long does a boardroom table take to arrive?
Boardroom tables are built to order, so lead time depends on the line, size, finish and power options. We confirm it in writing with your quote and schedule delivery and installation around your date. If you are working to a deadline, say so when you request the quote and we will point you to options that can arrive in time.
Will a large table fit through our doors and elevator?
Many larger tables are built in sections with separate bases, but long tops can still be hard to move through tight corridors or small elevators. When you request a quote, tell us your elevator and door sizes, any stairs, and your loading dock rules. Boardroom tables ship by freight and can be installed as part of your quote.
Can we buy a boardroom table on a purchase order?
Yes, with an approved PO account. Boardroom quotes can be paid by card or, for approved accounts, by purchase order. IHS is a CCIB-certified Indigenous business eligible under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business, so federal buyers can count the purchase toward the 5% target. Band councils and First Nations organizations can request itemized quotes for council approval or funding files.
Need more than a few pieces?
IHS plans and supplies complete offices and manages installation, anywhere in Canada.
