Tables are a useful interface element that allows to visualise data and arrange it in a clear way. Thanks to that, users can browse a lot of information at once and a good table design will help you take care of its clarity.
The basic table design has light padding and the presented data is separated wih horizontal dividers. It helps provide users with all the necessary information, without overwheling them with visuals.
The .table
class adds basic styling to a table:

Use the .table-responsive
class across each breakpoint for horizontal scrolling tables. If you want to create responsive tables up to a specific breakpoint, use .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}
. From that breakpoint and up, the table will behave normally, rather than scroll horizontally.

If you don’t want the table cell content to wrap to another line, use the table-nowrap
class.
