Abstract
An activity table has a plurality of stools movably connected thereto. The stools can be selectively moved between storage positions wherein they underlie the table, and deployed positions wherein they may be used by persons utilizing the table. The table is configured so that each stool is associated with a bipartite activity station, with adjacent activity areas. When a stool is moved to a storage position, the activity areas ordinarily associated with the stored stool can still be used by one in a wheelchair, so that the assembly is readily usable by the handicapped.
