I thought gate leg was a subset of drop leaf. The gate leg is what holds up the drop leaf (vs other ways of holding up the drop leaves).
My father's uncle had an oak gate leg table (very basic - no barley twist). It was unusual in that when closed up it was only about a foot wide, but each leaf was almost to the floor so it created a 6' long table when fully open.
As a kid it was very intriguing because I could fit underneath it and be invisible - hidden by the dropped leaves. I wonder what ever happened to that table.
🤔
I have a similar one.
 
Mine is rectangular and was was dad's in college, a family table, craft table, and then my table when I left home. It has seen a lot of use!
Please ignore the mess!
