A table is a piece of furniture necessary for dwarves to eat food in comfort. Tables can be made from a wide variety of materials, including wood, stone, metal, and glass. A table can be used to define a dining room, serve as an operating surface in a hospital, and be assembled into a traction bench. Dwarves dislike eating at a table without a chair and also prefer not to share their table or chair with others.

Dwarves primarily use tables to eat food, avoiding the negative thought for eating without a proper table. Each table should be paired with an adjacent chair such that no table adjoins two chairs and no chair adjoins two tables. Avoid placing tables without chairs (and chairs without tables) as your dwarves will experience a negative thought if they dine in such an arrangement.

An unassigned dining room designated from a table will be used by any dwarves without an assigned dining room, resulting in positive thoughts scaled to the quality of the dining room. Creating a high-value dining room is one of the easiest ways to keep your dwarves happy. Note, however, that dwarves with a table (or chair) in their quarters may opt to eat there instead, so it is generally best to only install tables in your nobles' quarters.

In a hospital zone, tables can be used during surgery as an operating surface. For this purpose, tables should be installed directly adjacent to hospital beds due to a bug canceling surgery if the patient moves more than one tile.Bug:2773

Tables are also used as an input, along with mechanism and ropes, at the Mechanic's workshop to make a traction bench. With three quality-rated items in a single tile, a traction bench can be a good way of rapidly increasing the value of a room, although it won't actually be used unless installed in a designated hospital.

Tables can be created from one wood log at a Carpenter's workshop, one stone at a Mason's workshop, one raw glass at a Glass furnace or three metal bars at a Metalsmith's forge.
