Context is simply a list of furniture items. I've looked at tables described as "avställningsbord" but just can't think of what they have in common and what they'd be called in English. Could anyone please help? Thanks.

: Nä, det är inte ett lättransporterbart ihopfällbart bord (=butler table) men ett långt smalt bord som står mot väggen i matsalen.
