Especially as their layout is more flexible: long banquet spirit rows, herringbone, U-shaped, comb-shaped, etc.   <\/p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, it can be more difficult to converse with people sitting at the other end of the table.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Events Tent Concept offers <strong>3 models of rectangular tables for rent <\/strong>:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rectangular wooden table - L.200 x W.76 x H.76 cm - For 6 to 8 people<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guinguette table (can be combined with guinguette benches) - L.220 x W.70 x H.78 cm - For 6 to 8 people<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rustic table - L.213 x W.102 x H.76 cm - For 6 to 10 people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages and disadvantages of round tables for your reception  <\/h2>\n\n<p><strong> Round tables<\/strong> are perfect for large receptions and large spaces. Whether round or rectangular, or more rarely square, not all tables take up the same amount of space.
