Table Guide

Start with the purpose of the space. If the table is mainly for standing events, drinks receptions and informal networking, a poseur table is usually the right answer. If you need a modern, all-purpose table for event use, display, casual dining or flexible venue layouts, a full steel table may be the better fit.

Key buying considerations

Standing versus seated use: poseur tables are built for standing use; full steel tables suit seated layouts.
Room footprint: poseur tables have a smaller footprint and allow more standing guests in a given area.
Visual style: both options offer a clean modern finish. Consider how each pairs with your chair selection.
Pairing with chairs: full steel tables coordinate naturally with EventPro™ Eames-style and Tolix-style chairs.
Scalability: for larger orders, check current stock levels and contact us if you need a quantity quote.
