A portable table is described, having a top, one or more legs, a reversible sheet secured to the edge of the top and extending, alternately, either upward of downward from the top, with pockets on the outwardly facing side of the sheet when the table is set up and the sheet serves as a table cloth or skirt. When the sheet extends upward from the top, the pockets are one the inside and the sheet is gathered into a bag so that the table, contents of the pockets and other accouterments can be carried by a drawstring threaded through the gathered material or by a handle attached to the table. A retainer ring holds the sheet in place, and may be removed so that the sheet can be removed and cleaned, repaired or replaced. The table finds many uses, including as a beach table, baby tending table, picnic table, informal table, and so forth. It may be made of wood, metal, plastic or hard rubber. It provides a person the ability to carry numerous objects which are to be used in conjunction with the table, such as food or beverage containers, baby supplies, books, writing materials or clothing.
