Abstract
A collapsible workstation includes a seat and table. The table is connected to the seat and defines a working surface adapted for supporting articles above the lap of a user in an in-use position spaced apart from the seat. The table is movable from the in-use position to a non-use collapsed position adjacent the seat for storage and transport. An elongated connecting arm interconnects the seat and the table to enable movement of the table between the in-use position and the non-use collapsed position.
