Relative Clauses

Hey guys!


Check this sentence:


The books on the table are mine.


"on the table" is a "reduced relative clause". Relative clauses are always dependent clauses (i.e.: They can't stand alone), but they act as adjectives describing the noun. Anyway, is the sentence I wrote above a complex sentence or a simple sentence?
