Abstract
An adjustable table system, particularly for conference or office tables, has at least one table leg with a table leg strut that can be attached from below the table top in one of several predetermined positions by sliding a first member with two spaced apart rows of longitudinally spaced engagement noses into engagement with a second member fixed to the underside of the table which also has two laterally spaced apart rows of longitudinally spaced engagement noses, wherein the noses of the first and second members are slidingly mated and secured in a mating position by a rotary locking mechanism. The table leg also has telescoping inner and outer tubes with a plastic bushing interposed therebetween and a setscrew mechanism at the top, with the leg being adjustable in the longitudinal direction by direct operation of the set screw from the top of said table leg or by rotating the outer tube in relation to the inner tube.
