A Mahjong table serves as the playing surface for the game. Tables can range from simple folding tables to elaborate, custom-built Mahjong tables with built-in features such as tile holders, automatic shufflers, and drawers for storing accessories. Some tables also have a felt or fabric surface to reduce noise and protect the tiles from scratches.

These mahjong tables are designed to accommodate up to four players, with each one having their own space to freely shuffle and move around their tiles as the game progresses. Typically square in shape, these tables are the ones you might have already seen and normally associate with mahjong.
