Can the Halacha depend on the type of table?
There is a table for eating which is the central one (and is probably what was talked about) and there are tables which are in the living room or on the balcony which are usually not used by the person in terms of “the table” but rather as a sideboard or even an ornamental piece of furniture, the question is whether they fall outside the definition of a table.
This is a table that is specifically for eating.
What's the problem with putting a statue on a table that resembles an altar?
After all, the priests themselves would walk with the statue (and even bare and barefoot) on the altar itself?
