A table was set outside the sukkah

Question

On the holiday of Sukkoth, we set a table at home, because it was raining. Then, before we began to eat, we noticed that it stopped raining. Were we allowed to eat at home?

Answer

If you didn’t start eating yet, even if the table was already set with all the utensils that are needed for a meal, you have to go back to the sukkah.
