Abstract

A folding table includes a pair of table top members having a straight edge and an outer edge forming an oval table surface. A folding linkage folds the table tops about centerline between a use position and a folded storage position. Stools are disposed above the periphery of the table with support legs extending down from the stools. In the folded position, the table is supported on legs having casters or rollers. Locks prevent the table from unfolding from its use position and also prevent the table from fully folding for easier transport.
