Answer:

yes

Explanation:

A table is a 3-D object. It makes no sense to talk about reflecting it across a point or line. If the table is reflected across a vertical plane, the top will remain "up" and the legs will remain "down".

A glide reflection across a vertical plane will result in a functioning table.
