For my colleagues: I can confirm that "take" is the correct word/term! Please see the note to my answer.
Lydia De Jorge Aug 4, 2007:
I agree with trans4u. 'Take' would make absolutely no sense whereas 'table' makes all the sense in the world.
Ana Franco (asker) Aug 4, 2007:
Yes, I thought about it...thanks.
trans4u Aug 4, 2007:
I think "take" is a typo. Could it be table and chairs?

Hola Transteam! Sorpresa, sorpresa ... ¡la palabra "take" es correcta! Acabo de encontrar el enlace que sigue, es un descriptivo de una villa de lujo que se ofrece para vacaciones, y pone: "The south facing pool area is just heaven on earth! With a 23x16 ft. L-shaped heated pool, large spa, fibre optic lighting, extended deck area, covered lanai with ***take and chairs*** for al fresco dining, you will not be able to drag yourself away!!

No he podido conseguir más detalles sobre cuál es la "take" pero este contexto sugiero que es una mesa "take-away" (mesa para llevar, similar a comida para llevar). Es decir que es portátil y probablemente plegable. Está destinada a colocarse por fuera de la casa (en la balcona por ejemplo) cuando hace buen tiempo y llevar en la casa en otros momentos. Entonces la traducción sería "mesa portátil/plegable" o "mesa de desplazamiento fácil". Espero esto te sea de ayuda :-)

Lo dejaría en inglés entre comillas con "[sic.]" para indicar que el error está en el documento original que se recibió.
