Abstract
The present invention provides a tennis table that is collapsible into a relatively small profile. The table can be partially assembled in relatively small boxes for easy storage and display on store shelves and for easy shipment in commercial or customer vehicles with limited cargo space. The table can be fully assembled without tools relatively quickly. The table is capable of being opened from the collapsed configuration by young or physically disabled persons with a relatively small amount of force and has a low profile, both height and lengthwise, in the collapsed configuration In a first embodiment the collapsible tennis table comprises two table halves, each table half having two table portions and legs secured to the bottom of each table portion. Each of the legs receives a connecting member that spans the joint between two table portions.
