Abstract
A pedestal for supporting a table top or the like wherein the pedestal includes at least two C-shaped legs. There is a tubular base for receiving base portions of the C-shaped legs with the base construction including projecting arms in accordance with the desired positions of the base portions of the legs. Each base unit is in the form of a pair of adjacent parallel arms spaced apart for receiving a base portion of an associated C-shaped leg therebetween. Outer ends of the arms are connected together by an integral bight. The arms are also connected together by straps or plates on which the lower portions of the legs are seated. There is a glide assembly which includes a fastener which secures a leg to a respective base unit. The fastener has an enlarged externally threaded head on which a glide member is threadedly engaged for vertical adjustment. Upstanding portions of a pair of legs are connected together by a generally X-shaped connector.
