Table with extendable top

An extendable table system, movable between a retracted table configuration and an extended table configuration, the table system comprising:

• a table frame, including first and second longitudinal frame rails and third and fourth transverse frame rails secured to opposite ends of the first and second frame rails, the first and second frame rails being oriented generally parallel to one another and the third and fourth frame rails being oriented generally parallel to one another and perpendicular to the first and second frame rails, so as to define a generally rectangular frame having four corners;
• a first outer sliding track secured adjacent an inner surface of the first longitudinal frame rail and a second outer sliding track secured adjacent an inner surface of the second longitudinal frame rail;
• first and second cross members each having a first end and a second end, the first ends of each cross member being secured to a lower portion of the first longitudinal frame rail and the second ends of each cross member being secured to a lower portion of the second longitudinal frame rail;
• first, second, third, and fourth table legs, each leg being secured to a different corner of the table frame;
• first and second movable table tops, each of the table tops including a molded plastic table top surface and a first inner sliding track secured adjacent a first outer edge of the table top and a second inner sliding track secured adjacent a second outer edge of the table top, wherein the inner sliding tracks of the first and second table tops are slidingly received within the outer sliding tracks;
• and
• a table leaf including a molded plastic table top surface and first and second retainers disposed on an underside of the table leaf,
• wherein the table system is movable between a retracted table configuration and an extended table configuration,
• wherein, in the retracted table configuration, the first and second movable table tops are slid together along the sliding tracks so that the table tops abut one another and the table leaf rests on the cross members beneath the sliding table tops, and
• wherein, in the extended table configuration, the first and second movable table tops are slid apart along the sliding tracks and the table leaf is disposed between the first and second movable table tops so that the table leaf retainers are fitted over and mated with portions of the first and second cross members and the table leaf top surface is substantially coplanar with the first and second sliding table tops.
