Claim 0:
1. A tension-stabilized frame system for receiving a tabletop, comprising:
a frame assembly, said frame assembly having a plurality of upper support frame members, a plurality of lower support frame members, and tensioning frame members, said frame members being linked and interconnected to one another;
when assembled, said frame members form a spring network;
each of said support frame members having a bent angled generally V shape, including first and second legs, said legs being generally straight and angled outwardly, diverging from a common center;
said upper support frame members being inverted above said lower support frame members;
a first leg of an upper support frame member connected to one leg of one lower support frame member, the second leg of said upper support frame member connected to one leg of another lower support frame member;
said legs of each said upper support frame member being alternately connected to legs of adjacent lower support frame members;
said upper support frame members and said lower support frame members alone forming a non-rigid and unstable frame assembly;
said unstable frame assembly allowing an undesirable rotational change in alignment of said frame assembly upon application of pressure forces;
said tensioning frame members including a central ring and a plurality of tensioning straps;
said tensioning straps having opposing ends;
said tensioning straps opposing ends being connected to said central ring at one end, and connected to an upper support frame member at the opposing end; and
said central ring and said tensioning straps together compressing said frame assembly and said support frame members, interlocking, tensioning and stabilizing said unstable frame assembly when assembled together.
