tabletops

Furniture's flat expanses

Tabletops are the flat upper surfaces of tables.

The word emphasizes the surface itself rather than the whole piece of furniture: The tabletops were sticky with spilled beer.

Tabletop as an adjective describes things designed for use on tables: tabletop games, tabletop displays.

In gaming, tabletop specifically denotes board games, card games, and role-playing games played in person rather than digitally.
