what is the name for the style of dining table that, instead of having four legs, is supported in the center by a single post, which spreads out near the ground into four legs that are parallel or nearly parallel to the ground? Some longer tables have two of these posts supporting either end of the table.

My pedestal bathroom sink has unstuck itself from the wall (following an earring-retrieval-from-the-drain adventure). There used to be a hinge of caulking that steadied it, but that hinge broke during the earring retrieval, and the screws that hold the sink to the wall often slip through, making leaning on the sink dangerous. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty handy. Can I just peel off the old cauking and recaulk?
