ABSTRACT:
A table is disclosed that has flat topped legs hinged to the underside of the table top at one side of the legs so that the legs fold to position parallel with the underside of the table, and, when erect, the table rests on the upper ends of the legs. Depending end skirts are fixed to the underside of the table outboard of the legs and a bolt extends through each skirt and through each pair of legs. When folded, the legs of each pair terminate adjacent each other and are parallel with the underside of the table, and a turnbuckle is fixed to the underside of the table that rotates under the ends of the legs, holding them folded for transportation and storage.
