Furniture construction with folding leg assembly

A furniture construction, comprising:

• a panel member;
• a floor-engaging base for supporting the panel member in a substantially horizontal position, the floor engaging base including first and second leg assemblies, each leg assembly having first and second spaced-apart leg members connected by upper and lower cross member means, and first means for rotatably connecting the upper cross member means of the first and second leg assemblies to each other and second means for rotatably connecting the lower cross member means of the first and second leg assemblies to each other, the first and second means for rotatably connecting being disposed between the assemblies to each other, the first and second means for rotatably connecting being disposed between the upper and lower cross members, respectively, and each means for rotatably connecting including first and second disks with the first disk having an aperture therein and being fixedly attached to one cross member means and the second disk having an annular lip extending only through the aperture without engaging a side of the first disk and the second disk being fixedly attached to the other cross member means such that the disks are in rotatable, slidable contact with each other and such that the cooperation of the aperture and the annular lip of the first and second means for rotatably connecting and the attachment of the first and second disks to the respective cross member means retains the first and second leg assemblies in cooperating relationship while permitting rotation of the leg assemblies about a single vertical axis.
