Abstract
The knock-down table is constructed of a base with interfitting leg frames. The frames have radially disposed horizontal supports on which the tabletop is suppported as well as brackets which receive the ends of the supports in a releasable locking manner. The brackets are disposed in opposed relation to prevent accidental rotation of the tabletop on the base.
