ABSTRACT:
A tabletop includes a tabletop member and longitudinal mid-support arrangement. The tabletop member includes a plastic made top panel and a plastic made bottom panel which is overlapped connected with the top panel in an edge to edge manner and defines a receiving cavity between the top and bottom panels. The longitudinal mid-support arrangement includes a mid-runner longitudinally received in the receiving cavity of the tabletop member at a mid-portion thereof to strengthen the tabletop member, wherein the mid-runner has two end portions for pivotally connecting two leg frames respectively, and two root portions for pivotally connecting two retaining frames respectively, such that the longitudinal mid-support arrangement is adapted for evenly distributing and supporting a downward loading force on the tabletop member to the leg frames through the mid-runner.
