This is in fact THE use case for tables. I’m following this - and as well the other “table topic” as well, decided to add a few things here:

This is a quote from the other topic already mentioned:

Why? It is possible to make tables responsive. I created a small example longer time ago which can be found here (click on Table):

[https://clients.updog.co/Reginald-TheMagicGrid/index.html](https://clients.updog.co/Reginald-TheMagicGrid/index.html)

It shows a concept which can be theoretically adapted to your example. It’s fully made in Pinegrow and it’s extremely easy to maintain through Pinegrow outstanding features (such as Focus on). This isolates the pure code portion of the table itself.

Admittedly - I’m not the biggest fan of tables. But I’m a fan of modern and clean solutions. And in my world, the WYSIWYM (WYSIWYG) has long been substituted by VCD (to be read as We See Design) or Visual Constructed Design literally.

Cheers
