My concern is that the file gets so big with all the component variations, but the alternate is having 3 different files.

I have a boatload of super dry Ash I inherited and want to make a dinner table. Like 12 boards that are 15' wide 6/4 and 10' long. Then 8 more that are 6ft long.

I love this design but don't want something to bash my kees on.

What's some suggestions from woodworking on table designs?

Here's a version that provides more context and asks focused questions that are likely to get better responses from experienced design system practitioners:

I'm looking for advice from teams that maintain cross-platform design systems in Figma.

We're expanding from a web-only design system to support Web, iOS, and Android, and we're trying to decide on the right library architecture.

Our current thinking is:

• Shared Foundations library containing primitives, semantic tokens, icons, spacing, color, motion, etc.
• Separate Web, iOS, and Android component libraries that consume those shared foundations while introducing platform-specific tokens and components (typography, elevation/shadows, breakpoints, interaction states, HIG vs. Material patterns, etc.).

I've run this through several AI tools, and they all converge on roughly the same recommendation, but I'm more interested in hearing from teams that have actually lived with this architecture.

A few questions:

• Do you use one Figma library or separate platform libraries?
• If separate, what lives in Foundations vs. the platform libraries?
• Did you ever start with a single library and later split it? If so, what drove that decision?
• Any pitfalls or lessons learned that you'd share before we commit to this structure?

I'm especially interested in hearing from enterprise teams maintaining large design systems across multiple platforms.
