A folding picnic table is positionable between a platform and a picnic table configuration. The foldable picnic table includes a table top and two benches on opposing sides. The table top is pivotally supported by two telescoping support pedestals and the two benches are pivotally supported by two telescoping bench support members. The telescoping supports permit the support pedestals and bench support members to be positioned between an extended and a retracted position. The first and second bench support members are attached to the first and second ends of the benches, respectively and include a substantially horizontal segment disposed between telescoping bench supports pivotally attached to opposing benches. When the foldable picnic table is disposed in the stage or platform configuration, the table top is positioned in the same plane as the opposing benches. Alternatively, when the foldable picnic table is disposed in the picnic table configuration, the table top and the benches are positioned in different planes. To dispose the foldable picnic table in a compact storage position, the table top and the benches must be disposed within the same plane. The table top and benches are positioned in the same plane when the axis of rotation between the support pedestals and the table top, established by their pivotal connection, is collinear with the first and second axes of rotation, established by the telescoping bench supports pivotally connected at the first and second ends of the benches.
