A vehicle load floor assembly having a load floor coupled with a handle. The handle is operable between first and second positions. At least one support leg is coupled to the load floor. The at least one support leg is retracted when the handle is in the first position and deployed when the handle is in the second position. A base wall supports the at least one support leg, when deployed, to maintain the load floor in a substantially lateral position. The base wall supports an underside of the load floor when the at least one support leg is retracted.
