Question
Is there room to be lenient and buy a living room table with a central leg instead of one with four legs?
Answer
Hello,
The use of a table with four legs is not an obligation or a law, but rather a custom of the Arizal according to Kabbalah.
Anyone who does not wish to follow this custom is not required to do so.
