Abstract:
1. A table comprising: a table top constructed from blow-molded plastic, the table top including a working surface, a mounting surface, and a hollow interior portion formed during the blow-molding process; a plurality of depressions integrally formed as a unitary portion of the table top, the plurality of depressions extending from the mounting surface to the working surface to increase the strength of the table top; a lip generally extending downwardly from the table top, the lip including a hollow interior portion that is formed during the blow-molding process and is in direct connection with the hollow interior portion of the table top; a first support pedestal being selectively movable between an extended position and a collapsed position relative to the table top, the first support pedestal being disposed generally parallel and adjacent to the mounting surface of the table top in the collapsed position, the first support pedestal extending generally outwardly from the table top in the extended position; a second support pedestal being selectively movable between an extended position and a collapsed position relative to the table top, the second support pedestal being disposed generally parallel and adjacent to the mounting surface of the table top in the collapsed position, the second support pedestal extending generally outwardly from the table top in the extended position; at least one support assembly generally disposed between the first support pedestal and the second support pedestal; a first support brace including a proximal end connected to the first support pedestal and a distal end connected to the at least one support assembly; and a second support brace including a proximal end connected to the second support pedestal and a distal end connected to the at least one support assembly; wherein the first support pedestal and the second support pedestal are generally disposed between a first portion and a second portion of the lip in the collapsed position to facilitate stacking of the table; and wherein the first support pedestal and the second support pedestal are generally disposed between the mounting surface of the table top and a lower portion of the lip in the collapsed position to facilitate stacking of the table.
