Conference table dimensions
Most conference tables are 29–30 in high, 36–60 in wide, and 6–24 ft long. Width grows with length so people at the far end can still see and reach the center.
| Length | Typical width | Seats (30 in) | Seats (36 in) | Min. room (48 in clearance) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 ft | 36–42 in | 6 | 6 | 14 × 11.0 ft |
| 8 ft | 42–48 in | 8 | 6 | 16 × 11.5 ft |
| 10 ft | 42–48 in | 10 | 8 | 18 × 11.5 ft |
| 12 ft | 48–54 in | 10 | 10 | 20 × 12.0 ft |
| 14 ft | 48–54 in | 12 | 10 | 22 × 12.0 ft |

| 18 ft | 54–60 in | 16 | 14 | 26 × 12.5 ft |
| 20 ft | 54–60 in | 18 | 14 | 28 × 12.5 ft |
| 22 ft | 54–60 in | 18 | 16 | 30 × 12.5 ft |

Height
Standard table height is 29–30 in, paired with standard office chairs. Standing-height tables run about 40–42 in.
How the numbers work
Allow 30 in of edge per person (36 in to be comfortable), one person at each end, and 42–48 in from the table edge to the wall. See the methodology or use the calculator.
