Previously, the "table" was set up on simple trestles that were stored away after meals to free up space. Whether round, oval, or rectangular, it is defined by its generous tabletop supported by a central base or at four corners. Also known as a "dining table" or "reception table," it is the beating heart of the home, designed to anchor moments of sharing with durability and style.
