Abstract
A worktable has recessed leg gussets on the underside of the table top for supporting the legs of the table in a manner that eliminates pivot points where the legs are connected to the top. The underside of the table top has inverted hat-shaped channel frames secured thereto where the table legs are to be located. A leg gusset at each leg location extends through an opening in the inverted hat-shaped channel frame, and the gusset is upwardly recessed into the channel frame. The upper end of the gusset is secured to a plate connected between opposite sides of the channel frame while the middle section of the gusset is secured to the channel frame at the opening therein. The table legs are simply inserted into the gussets when the worktable is assembled.
