Abstract
A table includes a table top, a frame, and a pair of non-circular openings are formed in the frame. The table also includes a leg that is movable between an extended position and a collapsed position relative to the table top. A connecting rod connects the leg to the pair of openings in the frame and the connecting rod preferably has a non-circular cross-sectional configuration. The connecting rod and the openings in the frame are sized and configured to loosely attach the leg to the table when the leg is in the collapsed position. The connecting rod and the openings, however, are sized and configured to securely attach the leg to the table when the leg is in the extended position.
