Finding the Perfect Balance
Whether you're selling art, clothing, or coffee, the number of tables you use can make or break your vendor booth. Too few, and you limit your display. Too many, and you overwhelm the space. Let’s figure out what fits best.
Typical Table Needs by Booth Size
| Booth Size | Table Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 6x6 | 1 | Stick to one 4-foot or 6-foot table |
| 10x10 | 2 | Common for most vendor layouts |
| Corner Booth | 3 | One on each open side, plus a checkout station |
| Inline Booth | 2 | One display, one checkout |
📐 Tip: Always confirm if the event provides tables or if you need to rent your own!
Factors That Impact Table Count
- Product Type: Jewelry = less space; baked goods = more
- Storage Needs: Use a hidden table or bin behind your main display
- Customer Interaction: Leave enough walking space to avoid congestion
- Vertical vs. Flat Display: Going vertical can reduce the number of tables needed
Recommended Setup Examples
| Vendor Type | Suggested Setup |
|---|---|
| Handmade Goods | 1 6-foot table + small checkout table |
| Food/Beverages | 2 6-foot tables (display + prep/samples) |
| Vintage Finds | 3 mismatched tables for an eclectic layout |
Conclusion
Start with two 6-foot tables for most vendor booths — it’s the industry standard for space and display balance. Add or remove based on what you sell, how you want to present, and how much space you’re given.
