They are often of a round or oval shape, are of a size and style allowing one or two people to sit at the table in chairs, and often displayed a lamp, books, framed photographs, and other items of interest. For tables that were made en suite and finished on all sides, intended to be placed in the center of a room, often rectangular but of various shapes, and not necessarily designed for seating with chairs, use "center tables." ]]></note></mads>
