ABSTRACT:
A table is provided with a gangable leg construction which permits the table to be used either as a stand alone unit, or ganged side-by-side with like tables for conferencing, dining and the like. The gangable leg construction includes a rigid mounting plate fastened to the bottom surface of a top portion of the table, and a swing plate fixedly mounted on the upper end of an associated leg. Fasteners detachably interconnect the mounting and swing plates in a manner which permits the leg to be shifted between a fully inboard position, underneath the top, for supporting the top in a stand alone fashion, and an outboard position, protruding outwardly from the top, for supporting the top, and an adjacent top of a like gangable table in a ganged fashion.
