Estate Table
Estate Table: A long communal banquet table — regional synonym for king's table.
An estate table is a long rectangular banquet table — often 20 to 40 feet — used as the central seating element at a wedding or event, with guests seated on both sides. It is essentially a regional synonym for king's table. The term is more common in North American venue and rental industry usage. Estate tables work well in long, narrow rooms and at venues with farmhouse or industrial aesthetics.
