Abstract
A plastic table structure includes a top having a planar upper surface portion, a lower plastic portion and a central wooden frame including a composite beam interposed between and enclosed by the top and lower portions. A pair of folding leg assemblies for supporting the table are rotatably carried by the lower plastic portion and pivotable between an open, top-supporting position and a retracted, enclosed position in leg-receiving channels formed in the underside of the lower plastic portions. Each leg assembly includes a pair of upper transverse supports that engage the leg-receiving channels of the lower plastic portion and extend across its entire width to provide a plurality of transverse load-bearing interfaces to enhance the rigidity and load-bearing capability of the plastic table.
