Abstract
A stylish fold-up table has pivoting leg assemblies mounted to the underside of opposing ends of a table top. Pivoting skirts are mounted to the underside of opposing sides of the table top. The leg assemblies are erected and the side skirts are then folded down. Latches on the side skirts then engage latch receiving elements on the leg assemblies to secure the table in an erect position. In a preferred embodiment, this arrangement allows for a storable fold-up table in which all mounting hardware is hidden when erected.
