A table construction which can be quickly and easily dissembled for highly compact storage and one which is extremely versatile in use and highly attractive in appearance. A key aspect of the table construction is a novel, attractively sculptured leg assembly that can be used to support one or more table tops of varying configuration. The leg assembly is specially designed and configured so that it can be quickly attached to and removed from the table tops for easy storage and transport of both the legs and the tabletops. Because of the novel design of the leg assemblies, which include a broad, generally fan-shaped upper surface, a single leg assembly can be used to effectively support two adjacent table tops of either a conventional rectangular configuration or of non-rectangular design as, for example, tabletops having angularly extending sides. Each leg assembly is uniquely designed to provide rigid stable support of the tabletops and carries with it a compact connecting tool for use in conveniently connecting the leg assembly to the tabletop.
