has gloss(noun) a table supported on trestles
trestle table
has glosseng: 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. It is the earliest form of table, after the basic pedestal-style table known to be used in ancient times, and was a common structure in ancient Rome, when it was made primarily of stone or marble. By the Middle Ages the trestle table was often little more than loose boards over trestle legs for ease of assembly and storage. It remained the most common 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.
