How to choose a HOWE conference table
Start with the number of people who will use the table most often. The collection includes six-person and eight-person options, as well as larger tables for groups of up to 14 or 16. If meetings regularly include additional attendees, compare the larger capacities against the space available rather than selecting by seat count alone.
Measure the room and consider circulation around the table, access to chairs and nearby doors or storage. The listed sizes vary considerably, so check the dimensions of each model before deciding. For example, a 200 × 80 cm rectangular table is specified for six, while one 240 × 120 cm model seats eight. These examples are not a substitute for checking the measurements of the particular table you are considering.
Choose the shape and surface for your meetings
Rectangular or oval
Rectangular tables are a straightforward choice for formal meetings, shared work and rooms where the table needs to sit in a defined orientation. Oval models are also available within the family; consider which outline works with your room layout and how your group prefers to gather. Several models are offered in more than one shape, so confirm the available shape for each option.
Match the tabletop to the setting
Surface materials in the collection include HPL, melamine, nano laminate and wood or veneer, with options varying by model. If appearance is a priority, compare the listed surface and edge together: examples include HPL with an ABS edge and veneer with a hardwood edge. Check the individual specifications for the exact finish and colour available rather than assuming every material applies to every table.
Check bases, cabling and room requirements
Base configurations include metal T-legs and other metal or steel bases. Consider how the base will work with the chairs and the people seated around it, then verify the specific frame details for your chosen model. A cable tray can help support meeting setups that use wired equipment, but compatibility and inclusion are not the same: some tables are cable-tray compatible, and whether a tray is included depends on the product configuration.
One model in the family is fitted with castors and glides, a useful distinction to check if mobility matters for your room. Before selecting, review the table’s dimensions, seating capacity, surface, edge, base and any cable-management details together. Myntwork offers these HOWE tables on a monthly lease, so you can also consider leasing as part of planning your workplace furniture.
