long table
Extended seating surface
A long table is a dining or meeting table of extended length, designed to seat many people along its sides.
The term evokes formal gatherings—banquets, wedding receptions, boardroom meetings—where guests sit in a row rather than clustered: The bride and groom sat at the long table with their wedding party.
In fantasy settings, a long table suggests medieval feasting halls.
