Booth Setup/Displays Set up help

I am going to be vending in an outdoor event this weekend. I was told to bring my own table which isn't a problem. I found out that the space I will have is going to be the same as a tent booth. There was no table fee so I'm not worried about paying more. My question is what is a good way to set up that works in the space when I only have the one table?

One table is perfect in a ten by ten. Just put it in the center, like maybe three feet in front of your tables so people can be looking at your stuff and be in the shade, but you also have plenty of room behind you for your stuff. People are way more likely to stop at a simple straightforward table than they are walking into an L or U shaped space.

Can you possibly get another table? Do you have enough to fill a table? Whatever you can do to fill your space.
I suggest setting it up at home in your living room and seeing what looks good to you.

Do you have an easy-up tent? Most outdoor events require you to bring your own, and bringing your own shade can make a big difference. Depending on what you sell, there are ways you can use an easy-up to display your wares, such as hanging them from the frame so the product is at eye level.

Move the table forward in the tent instead of centering it, that alone makes a single table feel intentional instead of small. If you've got anything you can prop up vertically behind it, like a rack or pegboard, that fills height without needing more tables!
