The boardroom table is the one piece of furniture that defines a room.
Clients sit at it before they trust you. Your team gathers around it before major decisions. Get it wrong and the whole space feels off.
Auckland offices have been moving away from the heavy, dark timber slabs of the 90s. Tables that feel open and make people feel considered are in. That means clean lines, warm material contrasts, and frames that don't dominate the room visually.
Here are the best boardroom and conference tables NZ has to offer.

Best Conference Room Table: Shot Table
The Shot Table is a multi-purpose conference table that punches above its category.
It's available in a range of colours and sizes, with straight legs on smaller formats and wide angled legs on larger ones. This design choice gives the table its distinctive stance and stops it looking like standard office furniture.
The top is NZ-made at a fixed height of 745mm, with a 15-year warranty. A bow-sided top option is available for those who want something less rectangular.
The recyclable metal base keeps the frame light without sacrificing stability. Finishes and sizes are customisable, though lead times and pricing vary.
Key specs:
- Fixed 745mm height
- NZ-made top
- Recyclable base
- Bow-sided top available
- 15-year warranty.
Best suited to: A standard-sized conference room where you want a table that looks like a deliberate design choice rather than a procurement default.
It works particularly well in professional services settings. Think High Street law firms or Newmarket consulting offices where the table needs to hold its own during client-facing meetings.
Best Large Boardroom Table: Modella II Frame Table
When the brief is a 10, 14, or 20-seat executive table, the Modella II Frame Table is the most structurally coherent option available in NZ.
Its shared frame system has no maximum length (tops 3000mm and over will have a site join unless otherwise requested) and the fixed height sits at 720mm.
The design is built around a dual-purpose beam that doubles as an integrated cable tray.
The frame has a clean, square-leg profile that suits the scale without over-engineering the look.
The base is recyclable and the tops are NZ-made with a maximum depth of 1400mm.
All finishes and sizes are customisable. The Modella II Frame Table carries Buy New Zealand Made certification and a 15-year warranty.
Key specs:
- Fixed 720mm height
- Max depth 1400mm
- No maximum length
- Buy New Zealand Made certified
- 15-year warranty.
Best suited to: Large executive suites and boardrooms in Auckland CBD fit-outs.
It’s also great for Wynyard Quarter offices, Viaduct-facing boardrooms, or multi-floor corporate headquarters, where you need a table that scales to the room and stays visually cohesive across its full length.
Best Meeting Table: Ligna Meeting Table
The Ligna Meeting Table is built for standard meeting rooms that need to look intentional, not institutional.
Solid natural oak legs with black powdercoated brackets and rails bring material warmth into a space that might otherwise read as purely functional. The contrast works well in offices that have moved toward lighter, more considered fit-out schemes.
The frame is stable. Black powdercoated 80x40mm rails resist the flex that shows up on cheaper tables when laptops and notepads crowd the surface.
The 25mm melamine top with 2mm PVC edging handles daily use without showing wear, coffee mugs, marker bleed-through, the constant movement of equipment across a rotating meeting schedule.
It's 900mm deep and stands at 735mm high, making it compatible with standard task chairs.
The 35mm radius corners are designed to improve safety in spaces where people move quickly around furniture.
A frame-only version is also available for those looking to pair it with custom tabletops to match an existing fit-out.
Key specs:
- 25mm commercial-grade melamine top with 2mm PVC edging
- Rectangle tops with 35mm radius corners
- Solid natural oak legs with black powdercoated brackets and rails
- 80 x 40mm leg profile
- Certifications: ISO 14001 EMS, E1 Board, and FSC
- 15-year warranty
Best suited to: Mid-sized meeting rooms where the table needs to feel warm and considered rather than clinical.
It's a natural fit for creative agencies, architecture studios, and professional firms that want their meeting space to reflect their design sensibility.
Best for Flexibility and Multi-Use: Ligna Meeting Table
The same Ligna Meeting Table earns a second mention because of how well it works outside the formal meeting room.
Its three size options (1600mm for smaller groups, 1800mm for mid-sized teams, and 2100mm for gatherings of up to eight people) cover not just boardroom use but breakout zones, project huddles, and collaborative working spaces.
The table can sit in a lunchroom one week and become the surface for a client workshop the next without looking out of place in either context.
The adjustable feet are a practical detail that gets overlooked until you need them. Older NZ commercial buildings, especially in the CBD, often have uneven concrete floors. A table that wobbles during a meeting is a small but persistent annoyance. Adjustable feet remove it.
Best suited to: Offices that need one table to serve multiple functions.
The Ligna handles formal meetings, breakout sessions, and casual collaboration without needing a different piece of furniture for each.
Making the Right Investment
The table you choose shapes how your team uses a room and what clients think when they walk in.
The practical case for investing properly is straightforward.
NZ-made tops resist the warping and delamination that cheaper imports show within a few years.
Commercial-grade frames, designed for daily use across rotating teams, don't flex or creak after 18 months.
A well-chosen table bought once, backed by a 15-year warranty, is almost always cheaper than two rounds of replacement furniture.
The Shot Table suits a professional conference room that needs a considered aesthetic without a custom price tag.
The Modella II Frame Table is the answer when scale is the brief and structural integrity across a long span is non-negotiable.
The Ligna Meeting Table brings material warmth and practical flexibility to both formal meeting rooms and multi-use collaborative spaces.
All three carry 15-year warranties, NZ-made tops, and recyclable or sustainably certified frames. Specs hold up across the lifetime of a fit-out rather than just the first few years.
