:Short answer: Yes. Long answer: An office doesn't strictly need a table... it just needs a chair as an "anchor" for the room-space. Now, nearly everyone thinks of an office as a chair behind a table or desk, but for Dwarves, the desk is optional. If you want, you can use that table as an "anchor" for a Dining Room that shares the same space as the office. Each of the two room-spaces (the Office and the Dining Room) will get only half-value for the quality of the items in that area. For best results, you'll want a separate, personal dining room for the Noble - assign it in the same way you assign bedrooms. --[[User:Nekojin|Nekojin]] 01:54, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

My nobles are still getting "dined without a proper dining room recently" thoughts when they eat in their offices, even when there's a table next to the chair in their office. This article currently says "You may wish to assign that dwarf his own dining room as well to avoid this thought. Alternatively just put a table next to the chair in said office." It appears that giving the dwarf his own dining room is insufficient; they're still sometimes eating in their offices. It also appears that simply putting a table next to the chair is insufficient; does marking that table as a second dining room help? --Sev 01:26, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

Now, nearly everyone thinks of an office as a chair behind a table or desk, but for Dwarves, the desk is optional. If you want, you can use that table as an "anchor" for a Dining Room that shares the same space as the office.
