Of course, it reflects light !!
See, any object can do all these 3 things -
R - Reflect light
A - Absorb light
T - Transmit light
Believe me or not, your table is even transmitting light !! Yeah, but in a negligible amount. Also, emitting and transmitting are different. Emitting is emitting own light with own energy, whereas, transmitting means letting the light coming from other sources to pass through it.
TIP : U can remember all the three phenomenon using acronym - 'RAT' !!
HOPE U UNDERSTOOD !!
