If you’re going to be putting a laptop on the table (whatever kind you get) make sure that you do not plan on typing extensively at a level higher than where your hands come with your elbows bend 90 degrees with your arms at your side. Computer tables have that place for the keyboard built in and I hook up a keyboard to my laptop no matter what just for ergonomics. I think that is the bottom line of what type of table to buy. Check the height of the table you plan to buy and also make sure to have a chair that is appropriate for your work space. What are the different features of a desk versus a dining table that you are comparing? The ones I mentioned are, in my opinion, just as important as the type of material they are made out of it. It’s not like you plan to put things that weigh a ton (literally) on the table, so the quality of the materials in a regular desk should be sufficient for an average person’s needs.
