A collapsing table is disclosed comprising a table panel (12); two seat panels (14, 16); two support panels (18, 20); two brace members (22, 24); and two attachment clasp members (108). The support panels (18, 20) each pivotally couple to a respective end of the table panel (12) by means of pivot lugs (100, 102), each lug having flat surfaces (106) which prevent unintentional uncoupling. The support panels (18, 20) further slideably couple to the seat panels (14, 16) by means of coupling lugs (90, 92) reciprocally moving with a U-shaped guide track (60). The coupling lugs (90, 92) have flat surfaces (96) which engage detent protrusions (61) at the terminal ends (62, 64) of the guide track (60), which in conjunction with the non-linear geometry of the guide track (60), resists unintentional movement of the table from either the extended or collapsed conditions.
