The support plate has a first lateral portion and a second lateral portion. The first and second tabletops are slidable relative to the frame between an expanded position and a retracted position. The first and second tabletops are configured to reveal corresponding ones of the first and second lateral portions of the support plate when the first and second tabletops are in the expanded position, and to conceal the corresponding ones of the first and second lateral portions of the support plate when the first and second tabletops are in the retracted position.
