An adjustable table comprising:
- a. a table top having a top surface and opposed end surfaces,
- b. female fasteners in each of said end surfaces in two rows spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to said top surface, a first row containing one female fastener and a second row containing four female fasteners, said fasteners in said second row being positioned such that there are two female fasteners on either side of a plane perpendicular to said top surface and containing the female fastener in said first row,
- c. male fastening members,
- d. vertical support members having a plurality of apertures therein for receiving a male fastening member therethrough for removable attachment to said female fasteners, said apertures being arranged in five vertically extending columns defining a center column, a left and right outside column and a left and right intermediate column, each column having a plurality of vertically spaced apertures therein, one given aperture in each center column being provided for a given height of said table top, one aperture in each of either said left and right intermediate column or said left and right outside column aligning with a first set of female fasteners in said second row when said top is positioned horizontally for receiving a male fastening member therethrough for releasable attachment to a respective aligned female fastener to secure said table top to said support members with the top surface in a horizontal position, and one aperture in each of the other said left and right intermediate column or said left and right outside column being aligned with a second set of female fasteners in said second row when said table top is tilted for receiving a male fastening member therethrough for releasable attachment to a respective aligned female fastener to secure said table top to said support members with the top surface in a tilted position.
