Abstract
A leg of a table includes a connecting portion, and an elongated supporting portion. The connecting portion includes two lateral plates secured to bottom of a table's top, and several horizontal portions formed between the lateral plates. The horizontal portions have through holes aligned with each other. Annular walls are formed around the through holes. The annular walls are shaped such that the inner sides thereof taper off towards an upper end of the inner side of the uppermost one. The elongated supporting portion has pads on an upper end, of which the outer sides taper off towards an upper end. The elongated supporting portion is joined to the connecting portion with the pads being inserted into the annular walls; thus, the pads will be forced further into the connecting portion when more weight is placed on the table, making the table more steady.
