There will be variations between different manufacturers, but the usual dimensions of a 5 gallon water bottle or jug are in the neighborhood of a diameter of 11 inches and a height of 19 2/3 inches.
Additionally, a 5 gallon bottle filled with water weighs approximately 53 pounds.
I recommend using a 5 gallon bottle handle when lifting and moving the heavy jugs. A bottle handle makes it much easier to grab and haul, and reduces stress on your lower back.
Obviously, the big bottles are cumbersome and difficult to get a hold of. But a bottle handle makes it easy to get a good grip.

I would like to know what furniture you would recommend to put two 5 gallon water bottles in. This piece of furniture will go into a board conference and other conference rooms. I need something that will look good and not be a eye-sore. Thank you.

There are a variety of 5 gallon bottle storage racks to choose from here at Amazon. Don’t know how classy it needs to be for your conference rooms, but there should be one that will work from their selection.
