Abstract
A piece of furniture that includes a plurality of stools that stack/nest into an enclosed table may include a top stool, a first middle stool, a second middle stool, and a bottom stool. The top stool and the bottom stool may each include a platform and legs extending downward from a bottom surface of the platform proximate to an outer edge of the platform. The first middle stool and the second middle stool may each include a platform and legs extending from an outer circumference of the platform. The middle stools may each be shorter than the top stool and the bottom stool by a distance equal to a height of the platform, such that they are configured to nest within the space created by the mating of the top stool and an inverted bottom stool.
