Trestle tables are some of the most commonly used and oldest types of furniture available. Dating back to ancient Rome, trestle tables have been a top choice for several centuries already. The only other design that was used earlier than these were the traditional pedestal tables.
The trestle design has proven to be a simple, cost-effective method of construction while still providing a great deal of support and sturdiness for the table top, even when it's made from heavy wood such as oak or mahogany. Not only are there trestle tables, but also trestle desks and even trestle bridges. This just further proves how trusted and secure this type of structure truly is.
Pedestal Bed Frame
During the Middle Ages, trestle tables were extremely popular and were usually built quickly and without much care. Many times their construction would involve nothing more than a few loose boards placed over a set of trestle legs. These makeshift tables were used by commoners as a simple and cheap way to store items. The quick and easy assembly made them a hot commodity for all types of people, even the ones who weren't so saavy with woodworking.
These tables were very common from the time of ancient Rome, all the way up to about the 16th Century. During this time, new forms of table construction were being invented. These various designs all put the trestle style to shame with their superb sturdiness and durability. Among these new types of tables emerged a few new frame-based designs like the gateleg and refectory structures.
Even though other designs have since come out of the woodwork, so-to-speak, trestle tables still remain a popular choice of dining and occasional tables for people all over the world. They are often accompanied by spindle-back chairs and used in the traditional Americana style decor; many people like them because of their easy assembly and convenient support system that doesn't seem to get in the way while you sit and enjoy your food.
You can find a wide range of trestle tables nowadays ranging in various colors, sizes, and styles, and they are some of the most affordable pieces of furniture on the market. The fact that they have been around for so long and continue to be sold in high numbers just further proves how effective the trestle design truly is.
