Abstract
A movable table is provided which includes a table top; two bench seats; a leg support assembly pivotally connected to the table top and the bench seats; four primary casters disposed below the leg support assembly and mounted to the assembly; and four auxiliary casters. The leg support assembly supports the table top and bench seats in an open and in a closed configuration; and it allows a user to place the table in these two positions. The auxiliary casters stabilize the table in the closed position when it begins to tip over. In addition, these auxiliary casters allow the primary casters to easily skip over obstacles.
