Abstract
An item of foldable furniture has a first blank for a top portion and one or more second blanks for pedestals. The top blank is rectangular in shape with a plurality of parallel scores such that the blank may be folded for storage and shipping. A first score midway along the length of the first blank such that the top of the furniture is folded along its longitudinal centerline and has second and third scores such that the item of furniture may be folded and inserted into a package for shipping. Each pedestal is constructed of a second blank which also has a plurality of longitudinal scores dividing the pedestal blank into sections. When the ends of the pedestal blank are joined, a pedestal is formed. A double score is provided between a first and a second of the sections of the pedestal such that the first and second sections can be folded around a third and fourth section in order that the pedestal may be folded for storage and shipping along with the top.
