Abstract

A folding table has a table top of synthetic plastic material with an upper working surface and an underside, the underside having at least one rearwardly located leg retainer and at least one forwardly located strut retainer. A leg assembly has an elongated connecting member and a pair of legs extending from opposite ends of the connecting member, each leg having a foot member extending from a lower end thereof remote from the connecting member. An angularly movable strut is pivotally secured at the rear to at least one of the legs and is releasably engageable at the front with the strut retainer. The strut is angularly moveablebetween a working position in releasable engagement with the strut retainer to maintain the tabletop in a working position and a retracted position between thelegs when released from the strut retainer. The or each leg retainer retains theconnecting member in engagement therewith while permitting angular movement of the table top between a working position and a folded position in which the table top is substantially parallel to the legs.
