Tables come in a wide variety of shapes, height,
and materials, depending on their origin, style, and intended
use. All tables are composed of a flat surface and a base with
one or more supports, or legs. A table with a single, central
foot is a pedestal table. Tables can be freestanding or designed
for placement against a wall (a console table). Table tops can
be in virtually any shape, although rectangular, square, round
(e.g., the round table), and oval tops are the most frequent.
Long tables often have extra legs for support. Others have higher
surfaces for personal use while either standing or sitting on
a tall stool.
