Abstract
A folding table with seating, the table having an oval shape and seating structure. The folding table includes a pair of semi-circular shaped table top sections folding along the straight edge of each section. A lock maintains the table in the unfolded position and is easily released by accessing an end handle that extends downward from the center axis near the edges of the table top sections. A framework extends downward and out to eight stools, four stools spaced apart around the curving periphery of each table top section. A leg extending below each stool to provide spaced apart supports around the entire table. The folding framework folds the tables top from a planar horizontal position to a vertical position wherein the bottoms of the table tops substantially oppose one another. The stools fold around the ends of the table top in the folded position so that the table requires much less floor pace than in the unfolded, use position. In the folded position, the table and seating structure is supported on four wheels so that it can be rolled to any desired location. A lock holds the table in a nearly fully folded position for an improved rolling position.
