The edge wall is spaced-apart from and surrounds the main flange. A pair of pivotable leg assemblies are connected to the top at the lower side thereof. The reinforcing rib structure includes a plurality of cross ribs which extend between the edge wall and the main flange on the lower side of the top part. A handle member is also provided on and extends downwardly from the lower side of the top part and is integral therewith for manipulating the table during transport thereof.
