Uma pelagem espessa e um bloco [de madeira] grosso não espalham impurezas até que estejam no espaço de uma mão acima do solo. Roupas dobradas que estão umas sobre as outras, não espalham impurezas até que a parte superior fique fora do chão pelo espaço de uma passagem de mão. As tábuas de madeira que estão umas sobre as outras não espalham impurezas até que a de cima esteja acima do solo pelo espaço de uma mão. Se eram de mármore, a impureza perfura e sobe, perfura e desce.

The following is a general rule: any among earthen vessels that has no inner part is not susceptible to impurity on its outer sides.

Mishnah Kelim
A table one of whose legs was removed is clean. If a second leg was removed it is still clean. But if a third was removed it becomes unclean where the owner has the intention of using it. Rabbi Yose says: no intention is necessary. The same law applies also to the side-board.
