Covering the table on which the Torah is placed

Hi,

There is no obligation to cover the table on which one places a Torah to be read. However, in the absence of a cover the table will gain the status of tashmish kedushah, limiting how else it may be used or how it may be disposed of.

(Rivivot Ephraim 1:117)
