trestle tables
Portable dining platforms
Trestle tables are tables supported by trestles—A-shaped frames or sawhorses—rather than fixed legs.
The design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, making them common at outdoor events, craft fairs, and temporary gatherings: We set up trestle tables for the church supper.
The term evokes long, utilitarian surfaces for communal meals or working.
