When the time comes to remodel your boardroom, it's important to understand the top 5 table styles. Understanding the top 5 table genres and their benefits will help you build out your space cohesively, efficiently, and professionally. Today on the blog we'll provide you with helpful examples of the top table styles available in 2018 from some of our favorite brands. Enjoy!

1.) Modern

Year after year brands introduce cool new boardroom tables that offer cutting edge design characteristics. Modern boardroom tables are often equipped (or available) with surface level power inputs that help to streamline meetings and enhance presentations. Popular modern conference table collections include Zira from Global, TransAction from Mayline, and One10 from Indiana Furniture.

2.) Traditional

From one end of the spectrum to the other! Traditionally inspired boardroom tables are timeless and elegant. They're typically composed of wood veneer components and significantly more expensive than modern laminate tables. A traditional boardroom table like the Sorrento from Mayline will help you create a luxurious meeting area that's never going out of style.

3.) Modular

With a modular boardroom table configuration you'll be able to get the most out of your available square footage. If you like the idea of improving versatility and operational functionality, check out a modular boardroom layout like the Bungee BXK132S from Global. When fully connected, the tables in this set form a boat shaped table. When not in use the configuration can be broken down, table tops can then be folded and staged along perimeter walls. Modular sets are great for businesses looking to think outside the box and combine areas like the boardroom and training room into one single space.

4.) Ergonomic

This year ergonomic boardroom tables have been the latest craze. They features height adjustable tops that encourage stand up operating. A height adjustable boardroom table like the Focal Confluence from Safco will reduce energy dips, improve blood flow, and much more. These ergonomically correct tables pair perfectly with perch stools that take up far less space than traditional boardroom office chairs with 5 star bases.

5.) Industrial

Last but not least is the industrial boardroom table category. This emerging genre is becoming incredibly popular in 2018. Industrial tables are heavy duty, built to last, and supremely fashionable. Industrial tables are typically composed using a thick wood top that connects to antique style metal legs. You'll notice a lovable touch of retro flair infused in today's most popular retro tables like the Edge from OFM. If you're liking this look, we also recommend checking out the Endure collection from OFM as it offers standing height industrial style boardroom tables with surface level power and swivel out seats.
