Толстая шерсть и толстый [деревянный] блок не распространяют примеси, пока они не образуют пространство шириной над землей. Сложенные предметы одежды, расположенные друг над другом, не распространяют примеси до тех пор, пока верхняя часть не оторвется от земли на расстоянии ширины ладони. Деревянные таблички, которые лежат друг на друге, не распространяют примеси до тех пор, пока верхняя часть не окажется над землей на расстоянии ширины ладони. Если они были сделаны из мрамора, примесь проникает и уходит, проникает и опускается.

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.
