Research direction

Start by locating the Table component and reviewing its current two-column key-value API. Compare the existing component stories and Jest coverage, then clarify the intended N-column data shape and configurable column behavior before implementation. Done means the component supports multiple columns with documented examples and passing tests.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the table component only supports two columns that are in a key-value pair format. This can be a bit limiting for more complex datasets may require multiple columns of different types of data.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like the the table component to support a different format that allows for N columns. Maybe the component could have a configurable number of columns, and you could pass in N length arrays of objects for each row to populate it?
