这张桌子将如何使用?

Tables that are used for shorter periods of time tend to be smaller and compact for activities like grabbing lunch or Monday morning meetings. People will not be sitting at them for long periods so there’s not as much of a need for comfort and space. 

If you need a table for hosting holiday dinners or meeting with important investors, you’ll need a table that has the space for people to get settled in, 展开, 在更长的一段时间内保持舒适.

桌子是什么? clearances?

The right table 大小 and shape allows people to comfortably move around the space and get in and out of their spot with ease. You’ll know your table measurements are a perfect fit if your guests can move around it without side stepping and sucking their stomachs in! 

 

作为一般指南, these are the minimum suggested clearances from the surrounding walls to the table edge:

餐厅、会议室、摆脱游戏电子站: 从桌子边缘到周围的墙壁至少42英寸. This allows people to move from their chairs comfortably and allows others to pass behind a seated person.  If you have the space, we do suggest more room though as 42" is the minimum.

会议室: 从桌子边缘到周围的墙壁至少48英寸. This allows people to walk around the table while others are seated.

 

 

Be sure to make note of other furniture, equipment, and door swings in your room. 如果桌子和墙之间有什么东西, the minimum dimension should adjust from the table edge to the other item.  例如, 如果你的餐厅里有书柜, the minimum  42” should be from the table edge to the credenza.

有多少人围坐在桌子旁?

No one wants someone’s elbow poking them in the nose while they’re trying to eat or work. The best table experience is one where there is enough room for people to complete tasks with plenty of personal space.  

Whether it’s beers with friends or taking notes during a meeting, here are suggested dimensions in order for each person to be comfortable while seated  around a table:
 

社会距离
When we first started writing this guide, social distancing wasn’t a term any of us would have used. But the world is different now and we’re ready to change with it. 

If your table is for a public place or office we can work with you to find a solution for keeping people safe. 这可能意味着制作更小的桌子 that can be used on their own for individuals or configured together for a larger group. We can also build dividers that’ll shield people from one another in tight spaces.

什么是最好的桌子形状?

At 联合木材公司 we offers five different tabletop shapes: rectangular, 赛马场, 桶, 广场, 和圆. Each shape has its own qualities that make it best suited for different table 大小s, 表的设计, 还有房间形状. 

You’ll want to choose a table shape that not only complements your space, but also improves the way people interact with each other around the table. Here’s what we found works best with each of our table shapes:
