We need benches that are wheelchair accessible; do you have tables with extended overhangs?

Yes, we absolutely do, and I understand exactly why you’re asking. When you say “benches that are wheelchair accessible,” you’re not just looking for a seat—you’re looking for a welcome sign that says to everyone, “This space was designed with you in mind.” And when you ask about “tables with extended overhangs,” you’re thinking about how a person in a wheelchair can roll right up to the table without their knees hitting the edge, and still have enough tabletop surface to comfortably reach a meal or a laptop.

Let me walk you through what we’ve designed specifically for this. Our “Roll-Up” series benches and tables are engineered with an open-front clearance of at least 27 inches high and 30 inches wide—that’s the standard for wheelchair footrest clearance, and we actually exceed it slightly for extra comfort. The benches themselves have no fixed armrests on the approach side, so a wheelchair user can park sideways or forward, depending on preference.

Now for the extended overhang tables: we offer tops with a 6-inch to 10-inch overhang on the approach side. This isn’t just a cosmetic flourish. It means that when a wheelchair user rolls up to the table, the top extends far enough over their lap that they don’t have to lean forward awkwardly to pick up a cup or a pencil. The table legs are set back, not centered, to maximize knee and foot clearance. You get the stability of a heavy-duty commercial table with the thoughtful access of an adaptive design.

I always tell my clients: the best accessible furniture is the kind that doesn’t look “special needs” at first glance. It should blend into a park, a campus, or a patio seamlessly. That’s why our materials come in weather-resistant solid wood, recycled aluminum, or marine-grade plastic—all with smooth, splinter-free finishes. We even offer color options so the accessible bench and table match your existing site furniture.

One example I love: a community garden in Oregon installed five of our wheelchair-accessible benches and two extended-overhang tables last spring. They told me that for the first time, a group of seniors who use walkers and wheelchairs could all sit together at the same table for their weekly meetup. That’s not just furniture—that’s belonging.

So yes, we have tables with extended overhangs. But more than that, we have a whole system designed around the question you asked: how do we make sure nobody is left at the edge of the table? The answer is in the clearance, the overhang, and the invitation. Let me know what size you’re looking for, and I can send you a layout plan for your space.
