Console tables resembling bookshelves in width can easily fit next to an open wall.

Another option for a dining table is to use the door of a narrow cabinet as a countertop. In the closed state, it will be a wall cabinet, and when open, a small table.

In a mobile space, the countertop can be disguised in built-in systems. One door can help easily organize a spot for a mini lunch.
