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.〔Webster's Third New International Dictionary〕 In the Middle Ages the trestle table was often little more than loose boards over trestle legs for ease of assembly and storage.〔(Blackburn, G. (n.d.). A Short History of Tables. Retrieved from Fine Woodworking.com. )〕 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.〔(Gordon Campbell, ''The Grove Encyclopedia of Decorative Arts Vol 2'', Oxford University Press US (2006) p411 )〕 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.
== Construction and uses ==
Trestle tables figure prominently in the traditional Americana style of household furnishings, usually accompanied by spindle-backed chairs.〔http://www.shaker.net/html/trestle.html Examples of modern trestle table and chairs〕 The trestles in this case are normally of much higher quality, often made of oak and braced with a stretcher beam using a keyed tenon through the centre of each trestle. These typically support a high-quality waxed oak tabletop.〔http://www.oldandsold.com/articles03/hf1.shtml Americana-style treshfgfgtle table〕
