Abstract
A foldable picnic table is provided having two, similar, table top portions hinged together for folding into a position in which their undersides face each other and are parallel and spaced apart. The table has legs which fold into the space between the folded top portions. The undersides of the top portions are provided with retaining means such as clips which hold various items in place, particularly a metal grill used for cooking. Other items may be stored between the undersurfaces of the table top portions, when folded. The retaining means for the grill may be partly carried by a member foldable with the legs, so that this folds onto the grill and holds this firmly in place when the table is folded.
