ABSTRACT:
A foldable table includes a tabletop, two side runners respectively supported at two side edge portions of the tabletop, a longitudinal mid-support arrangement including a mid-runner longitudinally extended between the two side runners to support the tabletop, and two leg assemblies affixing to the tabletop. Each leg assembly includes a leg frame transversely and pivotally mounted between the two side runners and a folding frame pivotally coupling between the leg frame and the mid-runner to retain the leg frame in an unfolded position, in such a manner that in a folded position, the leg frames are pivotally and inwardly folded to rest under the tabletop, and in the unfolded position, the leg frames are pivotally and outwardly folded to perpendicularly stand under the tabletop. Therefore, the longitudinal mid-support arrangement is adapted for evenly distributing and supporting a downward loading force on the tabletop to the leg assemblies.
