rectangular table

Oblong dining furniture

A rectangular table is a table with a flat top shaped as a rectangle—longer than it is wide, with four right-angled corners.

The term distinguishes from round, square, or oval tables when shape matters for seating arrangements or room layout: We need a rectangular table to fit against the wall.

Most dining tables and conference tables are rectangular.
