HOWE Tempest Meeting Table

Choose capacity before comparing finishes

Begin with the number of people who will regularly use the table, rather than choosing by appearance alone. The HOWE range includes configurations for eight, 10, 16 and up to 18 people. Consider whether you need extra space for laptops, notebooks or shared materials, as well as the number of chairs you plan to place around the table. The listed capacities provide a useful starting point, but your room layout and meeting habits should guide the final choice.

Next, check the table dimensions and shape in each product’s specifications. The family includes boat-shaped designs, with oval and rectangular shapes also represented in the attributes. A boat-shaped profile can be a good fit for group discussion, while the room’s available footprint and circulation space will help determine which listed dimensions are practical. Measure the room, including space needed to move chairs and walk around the table, before settling on a model.

Select a top and base to suit the room

Top materials listed across this family include HPL or laminate, melamine and wood, including oak; model details also identify veneer on some versions. Choose from the materials actually specified for the model you are considering, and compare the available surface colors, which include beige, black, brown, grey and white. Some tops have a matching ABS edge, while veneer versions may have a matching hardwood edge.

The bases are described as metal or steel, with T-leg frames in the collection attributes. Chrome-finished bases are available on some models. Base colors vary and include black, grey, silver and white. Use the individual listing to confirm the exact top, edge, base finish and color combination, since these details are not shared by every table.

Check cable management and fixed specifications

If meetings rely on powered devices, look closely at the cable-tray information. Some models are marked suitable for a cable tray, and the collection data indicates that inclusion varies. Confirm whether a tray is included or whether the table is only suitable for one, then make sure the arrangement fits your room’s cable-management plan.

These tables are not adjustable, and the family is listed with a fixed 27 cm minimum and maximum height. Check the specification on the particular model and make sure it is appropriate for your intended use. The listed warranty is two years; review the product details for the terms that apply.

What to check before choosing a model

• Match the stated seating capacity to your usual meeting group and room plan.
• Verify the dimensions, shape and available colors on the individual product listing.
• Confirm the exact tabletop material, edge treatment and base finish.
• Check whether cable-tray use is supported and whether a tray is included.

Once you have narrowed down the size and finish, compare the model details side by side to confirm they meet the practical needs of your space. Myntwork offers these HOWE conference tables on a monthly lease, providing a leasing option for organizations furnishing meeting rooms.
