Abstract
A self stabilizing and shock absorbing support structure for a collapsible picnic table having integral benches. The support structure includes U-shaped members resiliently attached to each other in a coplanar arrangement which allows the supports to flex and stabilize independently. This arrangement also allows the support structure to absorb shock which would normally be transferred across the table from one bench seat to the other.
