MORE A table is a form of furniture with a flat and satisfactory horizontal upper surface used to support objects of interest, for storage, show, and/or manipulation. The surface must be held stable; for reasons of simplicity, this is done by support from below by either a column, a "base" or at least three columnar "stands". A table is also known as a Mesa, a bench, a board, a bureau, a desk, a lectern and a pulpit. Common design elements include: ⁕rectangular, rounded, or semi-circular top surfaces ⁕legs arranged in two or more similar pairs ⁕several geometries of folding table that can be emptied and then collapsed into a smaller volume ⁕heights ranging up and down from the most common 18-to-30-inch range, often reflecting the height of chairs or bar stools used as seating for people making use of a table, as for eating or performing various manipulations of objects resting on a table ⁕presence or absence of drawers ⁕expansion of the surface by insertion of leaves or locking hinged drop leaf sections into horizontal position. Desks are tables specifically intended for information-manipulation tasks, including writing and use of interactive electronics. LESS |
