Office
From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
(Also called a "Study" in the game menus).
Offices or studies are rooms required by certain nobles and administrators. They can be designated from a throne or chair using <q>.
If you assign an office to a dwarf, sometimes he will eat a meal in his office and complain about the lack of tables. You may wish to assign that dwarf his own dining room as well to avoid this thought. Alternatively just put a table next to the chair in said office.
A "meager office" consists of a single chair, designated as a study/office, and assigned to a particular dwarf. You will probably first encounter this need in the bookkeeper. Assigning one of the chairs in your dining room is perfectly acceptable until the demands require a private room, or your personal tastes dictate otherwise.
Holding meetings in a bedroom also results in a negative thought, so put the office in a separate room to the bed for nobles who will be conducting meetings.
If you put a table next to the office chair and assign it to be a dining room, both rooms will be used like they are supposed to. However, overlapping rooms tend to drop in value, making it harder to meet demands by higher ranking nobles.
