A dining room table is generally considered which type of property?

• A. Real property
• B. Trade fixture
• C. Personal property
• D. Fixture

Answer: (C)

A dining room table is considered personal property because it is a movable item that is not attached to or integrated into the structure. Real property includes land and anything permanently attached to it, such as buildings or fixtures. A fixture would be something that was once personal property but became part of the real property through attachment and intent to stay with the property. A trade fixture applies to business tenants who install removable equipment for their trade. Since a table is not fixed to the building and is typically not integrated into the construction, it remains personal property.
