Each folding leg is rotatably connected to one end of a connection bar, the other end of each connection bar rotatably connected to a respective base leg. A first end of a frame member, which includes a table surface and a writing board, is rotatably attached to top ends of the base legs. A second end of the frame member is rotatably attached to top ends of the folding legs. In a first position, the writing board faces downward and a conventional table is provided with the table surface. In a second position, the folding legs, guided by the connection bars, rotate relative to the frame member and are locked to sides of the frame member by respective locking mechanisms.
