Abstract
The invention is designed for use with a table or desk supported by a pair of legs. The bottom portion of each leg is configured with a stem and a foot extending perpendicular to the stem. The top portion of each leg is configured in a y-shape having a first branch, a second branch and a trunk. The first and second branches extend up from the trunk and support the flat surface of the table or desk. A hanger device is located on either the first branch or the second branch and extends towards the flat surface. Placement of the hanger device on a branch of the y-shaped portion causes a load suspended from the hanger device to be supported primarily by the trunk and a moment caused by the load to be offset by the moment caused by the foot of each leg.
