ABSTRACT:
A multi-level table including an upper section and a lower section providing superposed tabletop surfaces and a plurality of upstanding support posts connected between the upper and lower sections utilizes mounting members interposed between the ends of the support posts and the upper and lower sections to which the support posts ends are connected. Each mounting member includes a cup-shaped section for accepting a corresponding end of a support post and at least one protuberance extending from the cup-shaped section. The upper and lower sections each include appropriately-sized recesses for accepting the cup-shaped section of a mounting member and a through-opening associated with the recess so that when the cup-shaped section is accepted by the recess, the protuberance of the mounting member is accepted by the through-opening. The protuberance of each mounting member has a fastener-accepting aperture, and a fastener is tightened within the fastener-accepting aperture of each protuberance so that the upper and lower sections are tightly held between the mounting members and the heads of the fasteners secured at the support post ends.
