Moveable feasting

GAME on? Don’t call me late for dinner. The latest generation of TV tables not only solves the old argument about whether it is appropriate to have the tube on while the family is dining at the table (that’d be no) but also provides useful alternatives that you won’t want to fold up and stash away after the pizza’s gone cold and the game’s over. There are choices for any budget, including assemble-it-yourself bent plywood side carts from Sweden and inlaid bamboo and leather topped models from Italy. On the cover is the Brunabo nesting duo that includes an Alvar Aalto-inspired round side table and a versatile cart with wheels, both pieces $69.99, from IKEA, www.ikea.com.
