Probably due to the demountable nature of plank-top pedestal tables, complete surviving examples tend to be rare. Some 'display stands' seen on the commercial market might have been the remaining pedestals after the planks were either missing or repurposed. It is also due to the flexible form that these tables are so versatile, fitting for a variety of spaces.

清十八至十九世紀 黃花梨架几案

傳承：
悉尼私人收藏，九十年代間購於香港

架几案因其架、几獨立可隨意拆卸，裝配靈活，搬運方便，卻也因此存世全品少見。市場常見成對方几，一些很可能便是架几案在其架遺失或挪作他用後的存餘。
