Not all tables are created equal — and using the wrong size can hurt your trade show setup.
Whether you’re showcasing products or capturing leads, table size affects layout, movement, and visibility.
Standard Table Sizes for Trade Shows
Table Size | Dimensions | Best For |
---|---|---|
6-foot | 72" x 30" | Compact booths, flyers, basic display |
8-foot | 96" x 30" | Large booths, product lines, demonstrations |
Cocktail | 30" round, tall | Standing meet & greets, drink areas |
✔ Pro tip: Use multiple 6-foot tables in an L-shape for flexible setup in small booths.
