dining table
Where families gather
A dining table is a table where meals are eaten, typically large enough to seat multiple people.
It serves as a gathering place for family dinners, holiday meals, and social occasions.
The dining table often anchors a dining room or eating area: We gathered around the dining table for Thanksgiving.
