I have a dell laptop and 2 external monitors that I use with it. One is a 32' 4k samsung monitor and the other is an old 24' 1920x1200 asus monitor. I have a 4 foot folding table. The laptop is like on the left side of the table but it is put diagonally so to speak. The 32' 4k monitor is in the left/middle of the folding table. The 24' monitor is on the right end of the table and put it diagonally. So imagine it looks like this on the folding table.


Laptop 32' Monitor 24' Monitor


The only thing that is put straight is the 32' Monitor as the laptop and the 24' monitor is put on the left and right side of the table but sideways.


Now would a 6 foot folding table be needed for this? The 4 foot folding table that I been using for this long, there is very limited space it seems.


Also if you have 2 32' 4k monitors... would a 6 foot folding table be more than enough? There is no way you could have your laptop on the far left side of the 6 foot folding table and say 3 external monitors on it right?


I prefer these folding tables as they are cheaper and do not require those really nice desk etc.


The way I have the monitors set up, I have to move my neck to the right a lot when I look at the 24' monitor. I can't put the 2 monitors side by side because it would be very hard to look at the other 32' 4k monitor which is my main monitor.

It should work.

My desk is 5'4" and I have a laptop, a 34" and 27" screens.
You will have a lot of extra space for your beer and chips. :)
Try to get some monitor stands too so you can use the space under the monitor for your other stuffs.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. The two extra feet will definitely give you more room. As a test you could temporarily move the monitors to the right and left side of the table and visualize having one extra foot on each side of the monitors. Would the extra foot on each side of the monitors give you the needed space? I f needed you can use a 12" ruler to help see what the extra foot looks like.

Anyone can tell me if this is good enough for what I want? It's 6 feet wide but are the height and depth good enough? Some of these 6 feet folding tables that are 6 feet seem to have different height and depth? Depth is the most important here right since I want the monitors further back?


If people say this is good enough for my monitor setup, I will order it. Or are the dimensions for the width and/or height not good?

My dining table is about 3.5' wide by 5.5' long, about 6" wider than the length of my arm, would be plenty to put the monitor/s at the far edge. My computer desk has the monitor just a couple inches from the full reach to it without stretching.

What is the height and depth and the width? Is your dining table 6 feet wide as in these 6 foot folding tables?


I am looking for a 6 foot folding table that would be enough for me to fit my monitors. The thing is I know a 6 foot folding table is superior to the 4 foot folding table I been using, but do I need to make sure the other 2 dimension are big enough? Thus the depth and the height? Depth is much more important right?


Can you or others tell me if the link I posted is good enough? There are lot of these 6 foot folding tables on amazon mexico and this one seem to have the most sold or close to it and the price isn't that bad. I do believe they have an home depot here in mexico that sells a lifetime 6 foot table that cost more and seem to be a bit bigger but is the one I posted more than good enough?

The linked page shows a table almost identical those out church uses for pot-lucks, breakfasts, meetings, etc. It should be quite sufficient, also easy to keep clean. I'd make sure to have it next to a wall in case it could get bumped.

Thank you very much. But the table you are talking about that you use, that isn't a 6 foot folding table?


Yes I notice lot of these 6 foot folding tables outside like imagine if people are selling things or using it for picnics and things like that. However, many of these don't have the same dimensions in depth and height so I thought... maybe that is a concern? I am using this sole for a computer desk with my multiple monitors.


But all these are 6 foot wide right? But the depth and height are different with these like one could have between 71 to 74 to 77 cm which is 28 or 29 or 30 inchees. But that shouldn't be a big deal right? When you say about putting it next to a wall... you mean like how that would give you a few inches extra right? This folding table seem to have lot of people buying it compared to others on amazon mexico which is why I ask about this. So wanted to know if the dimensions are good enough. I cannot use that 4 foot folding table anymore as it's way too cramped with 2 monitors and 15.6 inch laptop to the left of it. Then you have wired keyboard, wireless mouse etc. Can others confirm this 6 foot folding table is good enough? The last thing I want is to find out I should have gotten one that is 30 inches in depth as oppose to 28 inches.

Let's see, the linked page for the table shows 180cm which is just a few inches short of 6 feet and it appears to fold in half with the legs locking inside. And 72cm wide is about 29 inches, same as the height.

When you say 72cm wide or 29 inches, that is the depth or the height? The 180cm is the width right? All of these on amazon mexico seem to be 180cm but the other 2 dimensions are a bit different.

Okay so 29 inches for depth and height is good then right? So any other 6 foot folding tables, the depth or height isn't any more than 30 inches max right? Thus it isn't going to be much a difference?

I don't know what happened to the post I made earlier but to make my reply short I'll just say that it's been more than a year that you started this post and you still don't have a table? Speaking for myself , I'm done wasting my time trying to help you when it's obvious that you're not being serious.
