Abstract: A folding table and seating arrangement includes a pair of table tops, each of the table tops having a table top frame. A folding framework supports the table tops and facilitates folding the table tops between a first position and a second position, the folding framework defining a rotational axis with each of the table tops. A folding assist system offset forces during folding and includes a mechanical strut assembly attached to the folding framework and providing a biasing force. Cap elements have a receiving portion inserting into an orifice in the table top frame and aligned with the rotational axis to receive a tubular cross. The cap elements provide low friction and have tabs that clip into corresponding slots in the table top frame.
