A smithing table is two iron ingots and four planks, and since the netherite update it does one job: applying upgrade and trim templates. Villages have them in toolsmith houses, so most players never craft one at all, and it is worth carrying home from the first village you clear.
What to watch out for with Smithing Table
The smithing table does two separate jobs: it upgrades diamond gear to netherite and it applies armour trims. It also employs a villager as a toolsmith, so placing one near an unemployed villager is the cheapest way to start a trade for enchanted iron tools.
