Trestle support

A trestle support (called as well trestle legs) is mainly a horizontal piece of wood fitted with four divergent legs that serve, together with at least another one of the same type, to hold a board or several posts forming a temporary table or desk.

A trestle table is a form of table improvisation. In shape and manufacture it sometimes resembles certain variations of the antique field desk which was used by officers not too far from the battlefield. Basically, a modern trestle table is a plank of wood set on two trestles.

For instance, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos and top Amazon executives usually worked on doors set on trestle supports, as a visible example of a frugal company culture.

In the United States, a table or desk supported by X-shaped trestles is usually called a sawbuck table.

The trestle (also tressle, tressel and threstle) is (rarely) used as a charge in heraldry, and symbolically associated with hospitality (as historically the trestle was a tripod used both as a stool and to support tables at banquets).
