Although sometimes described simply as folding tables, the legs may also be completely detached. The aprons along the length of the table top are hinged by wooden pivots to the end aprons and can be folded away for protection.

For an example of another demountable table, see G. Wu Bruce, 'Examples of Classic Chinese Furniture, A Folding Table', Oriental Art, Winter 1990-1991, p. 233-5, and sold at Christie's New York, The Dr S. Y.
