A table attached along the edge of one longitudinal side by hinges to a horizontally disposed rail which is intended for attachment to a substantially vertical structure possesses two legs each attached by a hinge to the table proximate either opposed corner of the table distal the edge attached to the rail. Both legs are mounted to: (a) support the table in a utility position with each leg being disposed perpendicular to the substantially planar bottom table surface and (b) to be disposed substantially flush to the bottom table surface in a closed position thereby allowing the table to be rotated about the horizontal, longitudinal hinges to a vertical position hanging from the rail by means of said hinges. The length of each leg is substantially equivalent to the distance between the floor and the hinged longitudinal and horizontal rail attachment. The hinges for holding the legs in both closed and open positions lock in either position. The longitudinal orientation of the table with respect to the rail optimizes the use of space in manner areas including a typical residential exterior deck and accommodates seating facing the rail which in the case of an exterior deck is outward over a railing. The vertical storage position enables the full use of the area in which the table is located, protects the upper table surface from precipitation in exterior applications and minimizes maintenance.
