When I was a teenager my father wanted a pool table. My mother gave in and got him one but the only place they could put it was in the dining room. So they got rid of the dining room table and put the pool table there. They kept the dining room chairs and at holidays put the ping pong table board on top, covered it with a table cloth and we all sat around the pool table.
That reminded of the old TV Show Beverly Hillbillies.. except they sat round the pool table and called it the fancy eating table.
At Christmas we had a train platform set up on top of the pool table too. I guess you could have called it a multi-function table.
