A table and seating arrangement includes a tabletop defining a longitudinal direction and having an edge. A frame mounts to an underside of the tabletop and includes risers and laterally extending portions. Casters or wheels mount to the frame and provide for easy rolling transport of the table and seating arrangement. Seating assemblies having two stools mount to the framework on linkages that provide for moving the seats from a use position with the seats extended beyond the edge of the tabletops and engaging the ground to a storage position wherein the seats are raised and retracted to be inward from the edges of the tabletop.

Table and seating arrangement

A folding bed includes a support frame with a bed having a frame. A linkage connects the bed frame to the support frame and enables folding of the bed frame between a substantially horizontal position and a substantially vertical position. A selectively foldable seat mounts to an underside of the bed frame and has a linkage and folding legs actuatable independently of the bed's folding linkage.

Folding bed

A folding picnic table has a frame including folding legs. The frame supports a tabletop and a bench extending along each side of the tabletop. The picnic table folds between a use position and a storage position with the benches folded onto the tabletop and tipped onto one side on a caster assembly. The table includes a locking device, automatically locking the seating structures to the tabletop at a partially tipped position; and automatically releasing the legs when the table is tipped to a storage position. The frame also includes a retainer plate that keeps the frame from accidentally folding when the benches are folded onto the tabletop for cleaning under the table or during tipping of the table to a storage position.
