Training table configurations

The biggest thing to consider when purchasing teaching tables is the amount of space you have to work with. Consider the setup of the room and take measurements to see how many desks are necessary. Rows of training room tables position all eyes toward the front of the room to make it simple for participants to view a dry-erase whiteboard or projection screen. A U-shaped setup for training desks allows for ease in brainstorming, which works well when conducting team meetings.

Consider compact tables in a small space where mini training sessions occur or opt for oval desks that place participants on either side or facing one another in office chairs for easy communication. To ensure tables fit, layout the configuration along the floor using a line of masking tape or painters tape before deciding on what furniture use. Add any additional items to the room, like A/V carts, and make sure there is plenty of room to move freely.

Options for lecture tables

Training tables come with multiple options to choose from. Consider furniture on casters to make it easier to change the configuration of the room, depending on the use. Units with built-in connectors prevent pieces from pulling apart in the middle of work sessions for increased stability. Those with cable management systems keep cords and wires neatly contained for maintaining cable organization and creating clear walking paths on the floor. Choose split-level designs with shelves for storing books and other belongings, and consider sleek laminate tops that resist stains and scratches for longevity.
