The link I've provided below has some images of "tablones":

https://www.google.com.co/search?q="end tables"&source=lnms&...

I hope this will suffice.
The list of ítems I'm translating "mesas y tablones".

I'm sure this is an easy question for a native speaker. I just haven't been able to find the right Word.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, ideas, and answers.

Actually, in the context you are giving us, (folding table) as MPGS notes, I would probably use,

"round and long tables"

https://www.google.com/search?biw=1280&bih=729&tbm=isch&sa=1...

Or you can add "round and long folding tables", but seems to me they are referring to the "round tables" as "tables" and to the "long tables" as "tablones" (boards)

neutral  12316323 (X): Unfortunately, the "boards" in your link had nothing to do with the original image/question. It was about drawing tables and [drawing] boards. The second link is from South Africa. In the US, at least, no one would call this kind of table a board.

  -> Yup. That's why I included the other option. :-)

(folding) trestle table


Explanation:
Trestle tables don't always fold, but this might be useful too. Here are some examples (from the UK):
