Staples has table options for office, home and event spaces. Before purchasing a table, check the dimensions of the space you’ll be using it in, as well as the dimensions of the table. Ensure the size of the table is right for your space. Also consider how many people will be seated at your table and the load it will need to be able to bear. When deciding on how many tables you need when seating a lot of people, a good rule of thumb is to designate around 18 inches of table space per person.
