Boardroom Table Prices in Lagos: What Should You Budget?
Boardroom Table Prices in Lagos: What Should You Budget?
”How much does a conference table cost?”
This is the most common question we get at Sojionet. And the answer is always: It depends. Just like buying a car in Nigeria—where a used Corolla costs very different from a brand new G-Wagon—office furniture has a wide spectrum of pricing.
However, price isn’t just about the number on the tag; it’s about value, durability, and how long that furniture will survive the Lagos humidity.
If you are currently budgeting for Boardroom Tables in Lagos, here is a breakdown of what influences the cost and what you can expect to get for your money in 2026.
1. What Actually Determination the Price?
Before we talk about numbers, you need to understand why Table A costs double the price of Table B, even if they look similar in pictures.
- Size: Naturally, a 12-seater requires more raw material and structural support than a 6-seater.
- Material Thickness: Budget tables often use thin 18mm boards. Premium tables use 25mm, 36mm, or double-layered 50mm tops. The thicker the wood, the more expensive (and durable) the table.
- The Base/Legs: A table with simple metal pole legs is cheaper. A table with a full wooden “box base” or designer chrome finishing costs more because of the craftsmanship involved.
2. The Three Budget Tiers
Tier 1: The Startup / Huddle Saver (Budget-Friendly)
- Best For: Startups in Yaba, small team meeting rooms, and temporary offices.
- What you get: Typically 4 to 6-seater tables. The material is usually standard MFC (Melamine Faced Chipboard). The designs are functional and clean, often using simple metal legs to keep costs down.
- The Reality: These are great for getting started. They look professional but aren’t designed to be the “centerpiece” of a luxury boardroom.
Tier 2: The SME Standard (Mid-Range)
- Best For: Established businesses, consulting firms, and HR interview rooms.
- What you get: 8 to 12-seater options. Here you start seeing thicker table tops (25mm+), better edge banding (protection against peeling), and more stable bases.
- The Sweet Spot: This is where you find the best balance between cost and “Executive Presence.” Most Nigerian businesses fall into this category.
Tier 3: The Executive Luxury (Premium)
- Best For: Banks, Oil & Gas HQs, and Law Firms in Victoria Island/Ikoyi.
- What you get: Massive 14-20+ seater tables. These feature premium finishes, complex designs (boat-shaped or oval), integrated cable management boxes, and heavy-duty structural bases.
- The Impact: These tables are statement pieces. They tell your investors, “We are solid, stable, and here to stay.”
3. The “Hidden” Costs You Must Consider
When planning your budget, don’t forget the logistics.
- Delivery & Assembly: Unlike a simple chair, a boardroom table cannot be shipped in one piece (it won’t fit in the elevator!). It comes flat-packed. Professional assembly is crucial. If a cheap carpenter assembles it poorly, a N500,000 table will wobble like a N50,000 one.
- Access: If your office is on the 10th floor in a building with a small lift, the table must be modular. Ensure your supplier knows this to avoid carrying heavy boards up 10 flights of stairs (which might attract extra labor charges).
4. Why “Cheap” is Expensive in Nigeria
We’ve all seen it: the imported table that looks shiny in the showroom but starts peeling after one rainy season in Lagos.
Cheap imported particle board acts like a sponge in our humid climate. It swells, the edges chip, and within 12 months, you are buying a new table.
The Smart Budget Move: Spend a little more upfront for High-Density, Nigerian-Climate-Ready wood. It is cheaper to buy one good table for 5 years than two cheap ones in 2 years.
Conclusion: Get a Quote That Fits Your Reality
You don’t need to break the bank to get a professional look. You just need to match your table to your actual needs.
Whether you are looking for a simple 6-seater for your team sprints or a 20-seater for your board of directors, we have options for every budget.
