Abstract
Tables having a table top that is movable between a closed position atop the table base and an open position forward and above the table base are disclosed. Certain table embodiments have swivel means to permit rotation of the table top about an axis of rotation normal to the table surface. Others include mechanisms for moving the table surface between the open and the closed position that are sufficiently compact as to be suitable for use with a large majority of coffee table and end table styles.
