  1. trestle table

    A trestle table is a type of table that consists of a flat top, typically rectangular, supported by two or more trestle supports connected by a longitudinal cross-member over which the tabletop is placed. The trestle design allows for greater flexibility and mobility, as the table can be easily assembled and disassembled. This style of table dates back at least to the Middle Ages and is often associated with traditional and rustic design themes.

  1. Trestle table

    A trestle table is an item of furniture comprising two or three trestle supports linked by a longitudinal cross-member over which a board or tabletop is placed. In the Middle Ages the trestle table was often little more than loose boards over trestle legs for ease of assembly and storage. This simple, collapsible style remained the most common Western form of table until the 16th century, when the basic trestle design gave way to stronger frame-based structures such as gateleg and refectory tables. Ease of assembly and storage has made it the ideal occasional table, and it remains a popular form of dining table, as those seated are not so inconvenienced as they might be with the more usual arrangement of a fixed leg at each corner.
