A foldable table comprises a flat table top supported upon a collapsible frame which is removably fitted within the trunk of an automobile or similar space in an automotive vehicle. The frame includes lower frame members which are rested upon the floor of the vehicle and upper frame members which support the table top. The upper and lower frame members are connected together by pivotal table leg members which enable the upper frame members, with the supported table top, to be raised or lowered relative to the lower frame members. The table top is slidably connected to the upper frame members for sliding part-way out of the vehicle. The table top, which normally is in a horizontal, lower, storage position within the vehicle can be manually raised while still horizontal and then slid part-way out of the vehicle for table use. Thus, articles may be supported upon the table in both its raised table use position and in its lowered storage position.
