A new and improved multi-purpose table includes a tabletop which may be rotated between a lowered, horizontal position for use and a raised vertical position for storage. A plurality of the multi-purpose tables in their raised storage position may be stacked together in a high density nested and stacked array. The table includes a load bearing structure including a vertical frame member having an underside portion and an opposed upside portion and a divergent V-shaped frame member having a pair of divergent angled leg portions. The vertical height of the V-shaped frame is less than the height of the vertical frame member to permit nested stacking. The tabletop is hingedly pivotally mounted to the upside of the vertical frame member. In a preferred embodiment, rollers are rotatably mounted to the underside portion of the vertical frame member.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A table comprising a tabletop and a load-bearing structure, the load bearing structure comprising a vertical frame member and a divergent V-shaped frame member, the vertical frame member having an underside portion and an opposed upside portion, a plurality of rollers rotatably mounted to the underside portion and the tabletop being hingedly pivotally mounted at one side to the upside portion and rotatable between a raised, vertically-oriented storage position and a lowered, horizontally-oriented use position; and the divergent V-shaped frame member including a base portion connected to the upside portion and a pair of legs extending from opposed ends of the base portion, the legs extending outwardly and downwardly to free ends spaced from the underside portion, the outwardly extending portions of the legs being disposed at a height which is less than a height of the upside portion, a side of the tabletop spaced from the upside portion, in the lowered horizontally-oriented use position, being supported by the legs, whereby a plurality of the tables with their tabletops in their raised storage positions may be nested and stacked together in a high density storage arrangement, such that the divergent V-shaped frame member of a first table is received through the vertical frame member of a second table to rest adjacent the divergent V-shaped frame member of the second table.
