A general rule of thumb for furniture design and construction that is great to go by is: the more sturdy, the better.
Trestle tables are the embodiment of that very concept. A trestle table is a table that has a base made up of two sets of legs with a supportive beam connecting them.
This furniture construction technique has been in use for hundreds of years, as it presented a relatively simple bracing solution. While other tables that don’t have the support beam can be just as sturdy, trestle tables sturdy build was originally intended for use as a work table in which the table would surely take abuse for many years (much more than the occasional meal).
The Woodland Ridge Rectangular Trestle Pub Table by Legacy Classic takes the work horse design and pairs it with a rugged, aged design. Not only does it combine the two, it does so extremely well.
This pub table is made up of substantial pine solids and covered with pine veneers that have been coated in an aged amber finish. An additional polyurethane top coat has been added in order to add many years of use to your table.
As in furniture as in life, the more support one has, the better off one tends to be.
