A table accommodating place settings for a plurality of people comprises a first table top 2 with place settings for accommodating at least one person, and a second table top 3 with place settings for accommodating at least one person, wherein the first and second table tops are moveable relative to one another so that the alignment of the first table top place settings and the second table top place settings can be varied. Preferably, the table is circular and the two table tops take the form of rings with an inner table top 2 revolving relative to an outer table top 3. Indexing means may be provided to ensure that place settings on the table tops align with one another. Preferably, one of the table tops, e.g. the inner table top 2, is mounted on a revolving platform 5 that can have one or more seats secured to it; the other table top, e.g. outer table top 3, being mounted on a static platform 6, also being provided with seats. A method providing and using the table is also disclosed. The table enables improved communications by allowing a single user to have face-to-face contact with more than one person when sitting at the table.
