It's one of those casket tables. You unfold and have the funeral in the house, and then put it away after.

Spine Chisel would be a good name for a grindcore song.

Was it for propping up a coffin or casket?

Quilting frame? Doesn’t seem sturdy enough for a coffin

My best friend has had three back surgeries. I know the spine chisel is for autopsies and dissections (now I do, thanks). I also know I'm going to associate that thing with her procedures forever. I'm next in line for the surgery, in the future. They may need extra anesthetic. Do you have a sledgehammer you can lend my doctor?

I'm pretty sure it is a cooling table.

Hmmm... It looks like there used to be something in between that used to swivel. It's not a desk. It might have held someone. Maybe it held a body of a non- adult? Your desk isn't that big. So it can't be an adult.
