How to choose a HOWE table top
Start with the footprint
The two rectangular tops differ in both width and depth. The 140 × 70 cm option offers a smaller footprint, while the 160 × 80 cm option provides more surface area. Consider how people will use the table: a focused discussion may have different space needs from a meeting where participants bring laptops, papers or other materials. Check the dimensions against the room, circulation space and the position of nearby furniture before choosing.
Both models are listed for four people. Treat that as a useful guide for planning a four-person setting, and consider how much personal working space your meetings require. The larger size may suit a layout where users need more room on the surface, while the smaller one may be easier to place in a tighter area.
Choose the surface to suit the setting
Melamine is specified for both listed sizes, while HPL is also an option on the 160 × 80 cm top. ABS edging is specified on both; the smaller top specifically notes matching ABS edging. The collection lists beige, black, brown, grey and white surface colors. Check the individual model details to confirm the available surface-color combinations rather than assuming every finish is offered on every top.
When comparing finishes, think about the room’s existing furniture and the visual effect you want the table to have. A coordinated surface can help a meeting area feel consistent, while a contrasting color can make the table more visually distinct.
Plan the complete table setup
A table top is only one part of a working setup. Collection attributes include metal bases, with column and T-leg frame types listed, and black, grey, silver and white base colors. Confirm which base configuration is compatible with your selected top before ordering or planning a workspace layout. The collection also indicates that cable trays may be suitable and that some configurations include a cable tray while others do not. Check the chosen configuration if cable management matters to your setup.
Think through where power and cables will be needed, how the table will be approached, and whether the surrounding layout needs to change. These practical checks can help you compare options based on the complete workspace rather than the top alone.
What to check next
Review the individual product information for the exact dimensions, surface material, edging and finish options. Then confirm the intended base and whether cable-tray provision is included for the configuration you are considering. The listed warranty is two years; consult the product details for the terms that apply.
Myntwork offers these HOWE products on a monthly lease. Once you have matched a size and finish to your space, check the available configuration details to help plan the rest of your furniture selection.
