The current Tables feature in Figma feels quite limited. It would be fantastic if some basic functionalities could be introduced soon, such as:

•	The ability to easily resize cells without needing to adjust font size
•	The option to merge cells
•	Top, middle, and bottom text alignment options

These enhancements would bring Figma’s table functionality more in line with what we already have in tools like Keynote and Google Slides.

Hey @Anjali_Gajera, thanks for the feedback!

We’ll pass these onto the Slides team for future consideration.

Totally, Today I was creating this suggestion, but yours appears, so definitely consider this will be so useful.

Thank you for this thread. I totally relate to all three points. I Would just like to add “More options for border lines editing”

Agreed on all of these! Currently having to set up tables using lines, rectangles and auto-layouts since the tables function has limited customization capabilities. My method works but does take a little extra time every time I need to add, remove or resize a row/column, and it’s also a bit too complex for non-designers to figure out how to edit. Also, it’d be great if the tables function was also available in Design mode instead of just Slides mode.

All of what’s been said above is really important. The Table functionality, as it stands, seems at odds with the functionality and quality of the other features that it’s a massive barrier to using slides. It’s kind of expected in a presentation type product. Hoping this gets addressed soon!
