摘要： A collapsible table selectively positionable between an upright position above a surface and a collapsible position for storage. The table includes a table top having an envelope defining an interior cavity that is configured with an internal periphery sufficient for receiving one or more seating members therein when the table is positioned in the collapsed position. In operation, pedestals of the table may be pivoted between an extended position such that the pedestals support the table above a surface and a retracted position such that the pedestals are introduced within the interior cavity of the table and thereby substantially rest against the underside of the table top. The disposition of the seating members within the cavity of the table, and in relation to each other, further facilitates a means for securing the pedestals of the table in a collapsed position within the interior cavity of the table during storage. When the seating members are disposed within the interior cavity of the table, one or more retaining members may be used to selectively secure the seating members within the cavity of the table, thereby retaining the pedestals also within the cavity of the table when the table is positioned in the collapsed position for storage. Moreover, the seating members and table may be deployed independently from each other for use as an assembly or independently.
