Yes there was, it was called the triclinium. It had three couches that could seat three each. It also had a table in the center that held the food. there was also an opening at one end; so it was aranged in an open square like:
[1] [3]
[1] [ ] [3]
[1] [3]
[2][2][2]
Please for give the crudeness of the model, but ir was one person per block, with the food in the middle, and each number symbolizes a couch.

Yes, the Romans made use of couches. They ate on dining couches at formal dinners and they also had reading couches. It was thought that dining in a reclining position was better for the digestion if the meal were to be a long one.
they had typical things i guess like wooden chairs, stools, couches. :3 hope that helps xP
Their bottoms. They placed them on stools, benches, chairs, couches, horses, rowing galley benches, the ground.
Days? A Roman banquet would last perhaps three hours at the longest. Forget about what Hollywood would have you believe about the orgies of the ancient Romans--they just did not happen. Ancient Rome was a dawn to dusk society and most people were home in bed by eight or nine o'clock. If or when the ancient writers mention someone "dining until midnight" is was because it was the exception.
There is no oldest table in the world, unless you still have your old crumpled up table. Then thats your oldest table.
