Conference Tables
Conference tables are indispensable in every office, because every company has a conference room, and a conference table is essential in a conference room. Conference room tables come in various shapes, including boat-shaped, racetrack-shaped, and rectangular, and are typically between 6 and 24 feet in length. The standard height is generally around 29 to 30 inches, which can accommodate height-adjustable office chairs, and our conference tables can be customized with built-in power outlets and cable management systems.
Meeting rooms are often where a company makes important decisions, and a suitable conference table is the central hub of the entire office. Whether it's our daily meetings, negotiations with clients, or video conferences, a suitable modern conference table ensures smoother communication.
At Linray, we offer a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations of conference tables to meet the needs of meetings from 4 to 20 or more people.

Please be sure to continue reading to the bottom of the page for some practical tips and advice on how to choose the best meeting table for your needs.
Rectangular conference tables are a classic and common choice, frequently selected by many companies. The simple rectangular desktop design makes it convenient to store computer files and meeting equipment. If your office space is small, a rectangular conference table is a good choice, as it makes good use of the room's space. Then you can easily pair it with conference chairs, projectors, and cabling systems. Whether you’re a small startup just getting started or a large company with dozens of employees, a rectangular conference table can meet your office needs.
What is a boat-shaped conference table? Traditional conference tables are typically rectangular, while boat-shaped conference tables have two straight end faces, each with a slender side that curves outwards into a circle. Boat-shaped conference tables are commonly used in large conference rooms. Compared to traditional rectangular tables, the boat-shaped design provides a spacious central area of the tabletop.
Especially in large meetings, U-shaped conference tables help avoid the awkward situation where “those sitting at the far end can only see the tops of others’ heads,” giving us a better line of sight for communication during the meeting. Everyone can see each other’s expressions and reactions, making communication more natural.
The Racetrack / Oval Conference Tables feature straight sides and curved ends, resembling a racetrack! It adds rounded corners to the traditional rectangular conference table design, making it aesthetically pleasing. Compared to a standard rectangular conference table, the racetrack design provides better line of sight for people sitting on the sides and ends, preventing the feeling of being "too far away to see clearly." The Oval Conference Tables also come equipped with USB and HDMI ports, eliminating the need for an external power outlet.
The greatest advantage of modular conference tables is their “flexibility”, they can be rearranged to accommodate different meeting layouts, making them ideal for large conference rooms. Compared to fixed-configuration conference tables, modular designs allow for easy layout changes by connecting different table units—such as U-shaped, T-shaped, rectangular, or open-center configurations.
Modular conference tables usually connected using connector or lock bracket. Some models feature mobility options, making them suitable for flexible meeting spaces and training tables, for example casters that allow for quick reconfiguration. Some modular conference tables have built-in power and data modules, cable management systems or have surface finishes that will hold up to everyday use.
When choosing a suitable conference table, we shouldn't just focus on its size and appearance, but more importantly, consider the size of the meeting room and how many people it can accommodate. A suitable conference table should allow us to sit comfortably during meetings while also facilitating communication with others. When purchasing a conference table, the first considerations should be its appearance, size, materials used, functions and configurations, and the size of our meeting room.
When choosing a conference table, the size must be determined by the size of the meeting room and the number of people typically using it. A table that is too small will make everyone feel cramped, and there won't be enough space for documents and computers. However, a table that is too large will make the meeting room feel empty.
Generally speaking, a 6-foot conference table is suitable for small meeting rooms with around 6 people. For meeting spaces with 10-12 people, an 8-10foot table is appropriate. Larger meeting rooms can opt for conference tables larger than 12 feet.
In addition to considering the size of a meeting room, we also need to think carefully about how it will typically be used. After all, meeting rooms are primarily used for discussing projects and sharing proposals with colleagues, as well as for project negotiations with our clients.
If your meeting room is primarily used for internal meetings, opt for a more flexible design, such as modular conference tables. These tables can be arranged and adjusted to accommodate your company’s headcount, whether for small group meetings or employee training—modular conference tables can meet all your needs. Additionally, if the meeting room is frequently used to host clients, a more professional-looking boardroom table would be a more suitable choice.
Modern meetings are inseparable from computers, monitors, projection equipment, and video conferencing systems, making the functional design of conference tables increasingly important. A conference table without proper cable management can easily become a mess of power cords and data cables. When choosing to purchase a contemporary conference table, we must understand whether it supports features such as built-in power outlets and cable management. The details of these conference tables effectively conceal messy wiring, keeping the tables tidy.
Don't underestimate the importance of the shape of a conference table; the right choice of conference table can make a big difference. It not only affects whether the meeting room can accommodate everyone, but also whether everyone is comfortable sitting together in a meeting and whether communication is convenient.
For example, some meeting rooms are used for discussions by multiple people, while others are mainly used for client receptions or formal meetings. Different shapes of conference room furniture each have their own characteristics. Let's take a look at some conference table designs:
| Conference Table Shape | Recommended Seating Capacity | Best For | Key Benefits |
| Rectangular Conference Table | 4-12 people | Daily team meetings, small meeting rooms, training discussions | Classic design, easy to arrange, space-efficient and suitable for most offices |
| Boat Shaped Conference Table | 8-20 people | Executive meetings, management meetings, boardrooms | Wider center area provides better visibility and creates a more natural conversation flow |
| Racetrack Conference Table | 10-30 people | Large conference rooms, formal business meetings | Rounded edges improve communication and create a more comfortable meeting environment |
| Modular Conference Table | 10+ people | Training centers, flexible meeting spaces, multi-purpose rooms | Adjustable layouts allow different configurations for meetings, training, and group discussions |
Buying a conference table is just like buying an office chair—you can’t just look at whether it’s “pleasing to the eye”, you also have to consider what it will be used for on a daily basis.
If the conference room is primarily used for internal meetings and project discussions, a simple and durable Rectangular Conference Table is usually sufficient; if you frequently host clients or hold formal meetings, then Boat-Shaped and Racetrack Conference Tables will better convey the professional atmosphere expected of a conference room.
For offices that frequently need to change their layout, a Modular Conference Table is like a “Transformer” in the conference room—it can be adjusted for small meetings and quickly expanded when more people are needed.
When buying a conference table, many clients aren't primarily concerned with its appearance, but rather whether it truly suits their meeting room. Because different companies have different meeting room sizes and usage patterns, you often need to consider your actual intended use when purchasing a conference table. Linray doesn't just offer standard conference tables, it can also meet your specific needs by providing more suitable conference room tables, ensuring each modern conference table complements your meeting room.
No two meeting rooms are exactly alike. Some offices are small and require a small conference table that fits perfectly. Some large corporate conference rooms require large conference tables to accommodate multiple people in a meeting.
Linray offers a wide variety of conference room tables, and you can choose different configurations to suit your needs, including table size, desktop color, material selection, cable management, and power module configuration.
Simply put, you don’t have to change your conference room to “fit a table”—instead, the conference table adapts to your space.

Linray provides cable management and built-in power outlets, keeping the conference table tidy and facilitating the connection of various office devices.
Because a good conference table is not just about getting people to sit down and hold meetings, but about making the entire meeting process smoother.
