Abstract
A table includes a frame, a table top coupled to an upper portion of the frame, and a plurality of stools coupled to legs of the frame. The stools are swingable relative to the frame from a retracted-storage position to an extended use-position. The stools are arranged to engage with a surface beneath the table in the extended-use position to support a user of the table relative to the table top. The stools are arranged substantially within a perimeter of the table top in the retracted-storage position for access around the table.

A table comprising:
- a frame having a leg and a cross-brace coupled to the leg;
- a table top coupled to the frame for supporting the table top above a surface;
- and
- a stool coupled to the frame for movement relative to the frame between a retracted-storage position and an extended-use position, the stool having a hinge and a seat, a first end of the hinge coupled to the leg of the frame and the seat coupled to a second end of the hinge spaced apart from the first end, the hinge configured to allow movement of the seat relative to the frame, and the seat configured for movement relative to the hinge toward and away from the surface,
- wherein the stool is arranged at a first height above the surface in the retracted-storage position and the stool is arranged at a second height above the surface in the extended-use position, the second height is less than the first height, and the stool is configured to engage with the cross-brace to support the stool in the retracted-storage position.
