ABSTRACT:
A table having a pair of laterally extendable table surfaces. The table includes a base having a horizontally disposed periphery that defines a footprint on an underlying surface, first and second generally planar table surfaces, a table surface forward extension mechanism interconnected with the base and the first and second table surfaces, and a table surface lateral extension mechanism interconnected with the base and the first and second table surfaces. The table surface forward extension mechanism and the table surface lateral extension mechanism are each constructed and arranged so that each of the first and second table surfaces is movable between a retracted position, in which the first and second table surfaces are positioned generally above the base footprint, and a laterally extended position, in which the major portions of the first and second table surfaces are generally horizontally disposed and are positioned above, forwardly and laterally of the base footprint. In this laterally extended position, the table surfaces provide a table-like support surface to occupants of laterally positioned adjacent seating units. In one embodiment, the table is included in a "side-by-side" furniture unit that includes a pair of seating units having a storage console attached therebetween. In this embodiment, the table of the present invention extends to provide usable table surfaces to the occupants of the attached seating units.
