Abstract
A table may be sized and configured to nest with an adjacent table to reduce a height of a plurality of stacked tables in a nested configuration. The table may include a molded plastic table top that has a receiving portion disposed proximate an outer perimeter of the table top. The receiving portion is sized and configured to receive an engaging portion of an adjacent, nested table. The table may also include a frame with a first load bearing surface sized and configured to contact a generally planar upper surface of another adjacent, nested table. The table may further include an engaging portion sized and configured to be disposed in a receiving portion of the adjacent, nested table. The nested tables are preferably substantially identical and aligned in the stacked configuration.
