Exceptional Conference Tables that can Spice up the Conference Room

If you’re like me and have been in a lot of conference rooms you’ve noticed that it’s easy to see the same office furniture over and over. It’s almost like there is a copy and paste method to the conference room from certain office furniture retailers out there. It’s sad to me. We put so much time and effort into personalizing our entire office from wall art to plants and family photos. Then we enter the conference room and it’s sterile enough to perform surgery in it. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Today, I am going to show off some unique conference tables that bring the personality to the meeting area. These will be eye catching, bona fide centerpieces of the conference room that are without a doubt drama creating focal points to bring in the personality to the often-stale meeting room. These examples aren’t bound to any particular style, table shape, or brand; they are all just exceptional conference tables for today’s office. Let’s dive right in with a minimalist conference table.

Boat Shaped Conference Table with Steel Base

Brand- Collaborative Spaces

Series- Seville

Starting Price- $2,185.00

But Adam, there’s nothing there… it could almost be a kitchen table… Well, minimalism is an expression that is as much what’s not there as is. It’s a genius concept. How do you stand out from all other conference rooms? By having a centerpiece that looks like it almost doesn’t belong in that room. However, this conference table is just as effective as any other; it just looks different. The minimal steel base of this conference table provides character by being exactly what is not expected. A boat shaped conference table is a take on the traditional version with the long ends flared out to allow everyone at the conference table to see better. Side note- a minimalist conference table can make a small conference room look bigger!

Available in an astounding forty different sizes, meaning the perfect fit for your space is guaranteed no matter your conference room size or shape. Here is where the drama kicks in. The two-toned finish options are plentiful. With contrast between the steel base and the commercial grade laminate. The steel base can be finished in Black, Champagne, Dark Tone, Light Tone, Medium Gray, Medium Tone, Metallic Silver, Sky White, or Soft White. The tabletop can be finished in the selections of Black, Designer White, Ebony Recon, Fashion Gray, Frosty White, Kennsington Maple, Monticello Maple, Pinnacle Walnut, River Cherry, Slate Gray, Thermo Walnut, or Wild Cherry. The color combinations are far too numerous for me to calculate at this time.

Additional options are available for this conference table. First there are sixteen different conference chair selections to choose from that are guaranteed to match this minimalist conference table. I would personally choose the Nova III High Back chairs. Along with the conference chairs you can also choose from ten different whiteboard options for the conference room to take the meeting to a new level of interaction. Of course, these addons are optional and can be ignored. To round out the deal, this conference table is backed by a five-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Let’s go in a completely different direction with the next selection.

Round Conference Table

Brand- Office Star Products

Series- Kenwood

Starting Price- $1,030.00

From steel and laminate minimalism to a solid natural wood/veneer round conference table that almost looks like it belongs in someone’s kitchen. This is obviously for a small conference room, but it could also be placed in an executive’s office as an informal meeting space. As most of us know, natural wood office furniture has taken a back seat to modern laminate designs. That’s for reasons of cost to produce and ship. Since office furniture is expected to be a commercial grade laminate, a natural wood conference table stands out on its own.

This round conference table comes in two sizes, both are considered four person tables but the larger one could squeeze a couple more people in if need be. Available in two natural finishes which are Kenwood Mahogany, and Light Cherry. These finishes have an eye-catching wood grain appearance to them. These finishes will match other Office Star Products office furniture, allowing for a clean and concise appearance throughout the office. The quality is backed by a three-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Let’s take the idea of a round conference table and expand it.

Racetrack Conference Table

Brand- Cherryman

Series- Amber

Starting Price- $960.00

A Racetrack conference table is an oval-type design that is best described as a standard rectangular conference table with rounded corners. This simple change brings a deep level of character to the entire conference room. Who knew rounding the corners of a conference table could change the appearance so much? I personally love a racetrack conference table for this reason. It’s a small change to the office furniture but a huge upscale perception change to the conference room.

Available in eight sizes from six feet to twenty feet. Every foot in length tells how many people can comfortably sit at this conference table. A twelve-foot table will sit twelve people. There are four finish options for this racetrack conference table. They are Black Cherry, Park Walnut, Sienna Mahogany, and Valley Grey. Pairing this finish against the available conference chairs can bring about an interesting contrast. As far as the conference table goes I would select the Valley Grey finish.

Just like the first conference table in this list, this one has options for multiple whiteboard and conference chair selections to choose from. There are eleven whiteboard choices and two conference chair selections. Personally, I would go with the Etano High Back conference chair and the 37”w x 76”H Charter Mobile Glass Whiteboard. The conference chair provides the most back support while the whiteboard is large enough to use and be mobile as needed. This racetrack conference table comes with a ten-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Next, let’s see a truly modern take on the rectangular conference table.

Rectangular Conference Table with Metal Legs

Brand- Groupe Lacasse

Series- Quorum Multiconference

Starting Price- $2,995.00

A theme is starting to come to light- a simple change to a traditional conference table by changing the legs to completely overhaul the office furniture. Here we have a rectangular conference table; you can’t get any more traditional than that. But add metal legs and boom! Freshness. Now, this is a modern twist that brings an influx of character to the conference room with a simple metallic overhaul.

Available in an astounding thirty-eight sizes which means there is a perfect size conference table for your conference room no matter the size or shape of the meeting area. Add drama to the conference table with the ability to contrast finishes. The metal legs can be set to Black, White, or Silver while the tabletop can be finished in Anthracite Grey, Authentik Elm, Borealis, Bourbon Cherry, Cherry, Classic Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Fossil, Frost, Hard Rock Maple, Hazelnut, Karoo, Mojave, Natural Cherry, Niagara, Roots, Sahara, Salta, Snow, Totem, Tuscany Walnut, or Willow Grey.

Additional options include a power module that can completely revolutionize the conference room by providing power on the conference table instead of having cords running all over the meeting area. This conference table also has the same whiteboard and conference chair options as the previous entry. As I stated before, I would still choose the same options as I did on it. Groupe Lacasse offers twenty-five-year manufacturers limited warranty on all of their standard thermofused office furniture products.

Finally, let’s completely break the mold on what a conference table should be…

Standing Height Conference Table and Chairs Set

Brand- Harmony Collection

Series- PL Laminate

Starting Price- $4,380.00

Reread that title again- Standing Height Conference Table and Chair Set. First, these conference tables are used in offices that are active and vigorously look for ways to combat the sedentary lifestyle that typically comes with office work. A lot of offices alternate between standing the entire meeting and using the barstool height conference chairs. When it comes to standing out from other conference tables, it does the job… Pun completely intended!

Available in six sizes and the length of the conference table equals the amount of conference chairs that is provided. One of the greatest features about this conference table is that the tabletop and cube base can be matched or contrasted by selecting from these finishes- Aspen, Cherry, Espresso, Mahogany, Modern Walnut, Newport Gray, and White. Like other entries on the list, you can add whiteboards and power modules but another option is unique to this one. You have eight different storage cabinet configurations to choose. I would personally choose the 132” x 24” credenza with two bookcases because the center is open allowing for a television or projector screen space to create a dedicated media center for the conference room. This standing conference table and chair set is backed by a five-year manufacturer’s warranty.

There you have it, five unique conference tables that can transform a boring conference room into another stylish and attractive meeting area. As I said from the beginning, there are so many bland conference rooms out there. Why not go against the grain and dedicate a portion of the office style to what is arguably the most important room in the entire office? A fresh new non-cookie cutter conference table will have way more impact than a motivational poster of a kitten clinging to a limb with the caption “hang in there.”
