ABSTRACT:
A table includes a table top with an upper surface and a lower surface. The table top is preferably constructed from blow-molded plastic and it includes a generally hollow interior. The table top includes a downwardly extending lip one or more strengthening members that are integrally formed in the lip. The lip is desirably integrally formed in the table top as part of a unitary structure and the lip includes a generally hollow interior that is integrally formed during the blow-molding process with the generally hollow interior of the table top. Advantageously, the table top may include a plurality of depressions that are integrally formed in the table top and the strengthening members may be generally aligned with at least some of the depressions. The strengthening members include one or more of inwardly extending portions, outwardly extending portions and/or ribs that increase a thickness of the lip. The strengthening members may also be formed in a corner of the table top.
