ABSTRACT:
A foldable table includes a tabletop and two leg frames for supporting the tabletop, each of the leg frames having a transverse member pivotally attached to a underside of the tabletop and a standing leg extended from the transverse member and pivotally moveable with respect to the tabletop. A retaining element having a first end pivotally attached to the transverse member and a second end pivotally attached to the standing leg of the other transverse member. The retaining element has an adjustable length adapted for lengthening to become longer than a distance between the transverse members of the leg frames as the leg frame is erected, thereby providing lateral support for the erected leg frame.
