Kommentar zu Kelim 22:1
הַשֻּׁלְחָן וְהַדְּלֻפְקִי שֶׁנִּפְחֲתוּ, אוֹ שֶׁחִפָּן בְּשַׁיִשׁ וְשִׁיֵּר בָּהֶם מְקוֹם הַנָּחַת הַכּוֹסוֹת, טְמֵאִים. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, מְקוֹם הַנָּחַת חֲתִיכוֹת:
Wenn ein Tisch oder ein Seitenbrett beschädigt wurde oder er sie mit Marmor bedeckte, aber Platz für Tassen blieb, ist er anfällig für Verunreinigungen. Rabbi Yehudah entschied: [wenn er ging] Platz genug für Essensstücke.
Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
השלחן והדלפק (the table and the delphica/a three-legged table used as a toilet table or a waiter) – a wooden vessel that they place upon it flasks and jugs and food and liquids, and from it, they take and place it on the table.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
If a table or a side-board was damaged or he covered them with marble but room was left for cups to be set, it is unclean. Rabbi Judah ruled: there must be room enough for pieces of food. The mishnah describes two situations. The first is of a table or side-board (what we might call a counter) that was damaged. The second is of a table or side-board (both made of wood) that were covered with marble. Marble is not susceptible to impurity. In both cases, if enough of the table remains undamaged, or if enough remains uncovered with marble, for cups to be placed on the table, it is still susceptible.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
Rabbi Judah says that space for cups is not enough. There must be enough space for pieces of food. If not, the table is not considered usable or is considered to be fully covered with marble, and it is clean.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
מקום הנחת חתיכות – of [pieces of] bread and meat. For if there was no place on the table for the placing of pieces [of bread and meat], it is not a table and it is not a delphica/three-legged table used as a waiter. But the Halakha Is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
