Tables designed to be placed against a wall are known as pier tables or console tables
Most tables are composed of a flat surface and one or more supports (legs). A table with a single, central foot is a pedestal table.
Many tables have tops that can be adjusted to change their height, position, shape, or size, either with foldable, sliding or extensions parts that can alter the shape of the top. Some tables are entirely foldable for easy transportation during activities such as camping.
