Custom Reconfigurable Conference Tables
Tables that can be arranged in various configurations are referred to by many names: folding tables, training tables, and reconfigurable tables. We produce numerous of these tables annually for clients who desire versatility in their spaces. Given our extensive range of sizes and shapes, we can tailor the ideal solution for your space while meeting your functional needs.
Creating Functional and Elegant Tables that Reconfigure
Many clients seek the flexibility of reconfigurable conference room tables without compromising on elegance. We’ve developed numerous designs that can be assembled in different configurations while exuding the substantial presence of a boardroom table.
Reconfigurable Solutions in Virtually and Shape
Popular shapes for reconfigurable conference room tables are rectangles, squares, or triangular corners. These enable tables to be arranged in rectangular or open-square layouts. However, we advocate for incorporating other shapes as well. We frequently craft sets of reconfigurable conference room tables that include partial arcs of circles and polygonal tables. This enables tables to adapt to irregularly shaped rooms, as exemplified by this NASA facility. Mixed shape tables still allow for diverse room uses. Here are some layouts we created for this project. Even a straightforward arrangement, with one rectangular size and one polygon, can facilitate numerous setups. When you commission a table from Paul Downs, we collaborate with you to determine the optimal combination of different shapes for your room and various meeting requirements.
Can You Create Any Size Table?
Most sets of reconfigurable conference room tables consist of rectangular tables with a 2:1 ratio of long to short side. The specific dimensions vary; 30” x 60”, 33” x 66”, and 36” x 72” are quite common. We frequently employ a 3:1 ratio for efficiency. For instance, two 30” x 90” tables accommodate the same number of people as three 30” x 60” tables but at a lower cost. We always seek opportunities to fulfill requirements with fewer tables.
Square tables are also prevalent. 36” x 36” is the smallest size suitable for most situations, as anything smaller results in users bumping into each other. We prefer crafting squares in sizes such as 48” x 48”, 54” x 54”, and 60” x 60”. These can be used individually to seat 4 to 8 people each or combined to create a sizable boardroom table.
Occasionally, unique sizes are necessary, and we are delighted to construct the most suitable solution.
What sets our reconfigurable modular tables apart?
How Much Do Reconfigurable Tables Cost?
Similar to all our creations, table costs hinge on size, quantity, and design complexity. Laminate tables are more economical than all-wood tables, and the addition of power/data units incurs additional expenses. Providing a precise formula covering every possibility is challenging, but here are some price points to consider:
- The simplest tables we fabricate start at approximately $850 each, for bulk orders, featuring laminate tops with straightforward, non-folding metal legs.
- Most folding and rolling tables we produce fall within the $900 to $1800 range per table, again for bulk orders.
Our more intricate and substantial tables surpass these figures. However, we collaborate with you to identify designs within your budget.
How Can I Transport and Store My Tables?
If your reconfigurable table needs frequent adjustments or removal from the room, having a folding mechanism and large casters proves beneficial. We typically utilize mechanisms manufactured in the USA by Gibraltar. These come in various styles and configurations, all facilitating easy folding and rolling. Each base is equipped with sizable locking casters, enabling effortless transit of tables to storage. Additionally, our tables can be nested together, maximizing storage space in small closets.
Can I Include Modesty Panels?
Folding tables can be constructed with or without modesty panels. Including them is advisable if you wish to limit sight lines in certain configurations or conceal wiring. Modesty panels can be minimalist or match the table’s top. They can be positioned in the center for seating on all sides or along one long side for enhanced coverage. Extended modesty panels are also an option, offering full coverage or enabling seating on all sides of the table.
How Can I Connect My Tables Together?
Securing tables together to prevent shifting during use is advantageous. We offer various under-top connectors for this purpose, with the Plako connector being a preferred choice. Your table will have connectors mounted at corners and in the middle, facilitating clipping together in various configurations. Alternative connector types are also available as needed.
We’ve devised solutions to incorporate wiring into any of our reconfigurable tables. For folding conference tables, we recommend the ECA Daisylink unit, enabling daisy-chaining tables together with a single plug to the wall. This unit includes AC and USB charging plugs. Clips are provided to route wires either out the end or sides of the table. For comprehensive network and video wiring, we’ve developed specialized cases compatible with Gibraltar folding legs, accommodating heavy wire loads while ensuring easy movement and storage. Many of our more substantial reconfigurable designs feature a full suite of network, power, audio, and video plugs hidden under hatches.
What is the Best Table for Videoconferencing
While not strictly reconfigurable, scissoring tables offer flexibility in a room. Closed, they facilitate regular meetings; opened, they are suitable for videoconferencing. Our scissoring mechanisms feature pre-mounted wheels for effortless opening and closing and are outfitted with cases allowing for heavy wiring loads on the arms.
