A meeting table is the centrepiece of every conference room. Getting the size wrong — too big and the room feels cramped, too small and meetings become uncomfortable — is a costly mistake. This guide will help Malaysian businesses choose the right meeting table for their office.
Standard Meeting Table Sizes in Malaysia
Meeting tables are typically sized by the number of people they need to accommodate. Here are the standard dimensions used in Malaysian offices:
4-seater: 1200mm × 600mm — suitable for small discussion rooms
6-seater: 1800mm × 900mm — the most common size for Malaysian SME boardrooms
8-seater: 2400mm × 1000mm — medium conference room, ideal for team meetings
10-seater: 3000mm × 1100mm — large boardroom, requires minimum 5m × 4m room
12-seater: 3600mm × 1200mm — executive boardroom, requires minimum 6m × 4.5m room
14+ seater: Custom sizes available — contact Igreen for bespoke requirements
Meeting Table Shapes — Which is Best for Your Office?
Rectangular Tables
The most common shape in Malaysian offices. Rectangular tables are space-efficient, easy to configure in any room, and seat more people per square metre than other shapes. Best for formal meetings and presentations.
Oval and Boat-Shaped Tables
Boat-shaped tables are wider in the middle, providing better sightlines for all participants. Popular in premium boardrooms in KL and Penang. The curved edges also make the room feel more open.
Round Tables
Round tables promote equal participation — there is no 'head' position. Best for collaborative discussions, creative sessions, and small team meetings. However, they use more space per person than rectangular tables.
Training Tables (Foldable/Flip-Top)
For multipurpose rooms that serve as both meeting rooms and training venues, foldable flip-top training tables are ideal. They can be folded and stacked when not in use, freeing up floor space. Igreen's training table range starts from RM299 each.
How to Calculate the Right Meeting Room Size
A simple rule of thumb: allow 2.4m² of floor space per person in a meeting room. So a 10-person boardroom needs at least 24m² of floor area, plus space for the table itself. Add the table dimensions to this calculation.
