A pivotable folding utility table includes a table top having a pair of support pedestals pivotally attached thereto. A first pivotal support brace including a distal end and a proximal end attached to the first support pedestal. A second pivotal support brace including a distal end and a proximal end attached to the second support pedestal. The distal ends of the first and second pivotal support braces pivotally attached to a retaining assembly preferably mounted in relation to the table top. Specifically, the retaining assembly includes a cross-brace member operably disposed through openings formed in the distal ends of the first and second pivotal support braces, thus providing a pivotal engagement in relation to the table top. Alternatively, a second retaining assembly including a cross-brace member may be mounted in relation to the table top, wherein the distal end of the first pivotal support brace pivotally engages the first retaining member and the distal end of the second pivotal support brace pivotally engages the second retaining member. In addition, the first and second support pedestals may comprise at least one support leg, wherein each support leg of the first and second support pedestals are laterally offset from each other so as to permit an offset displacement of the support legs when the support pedestals are disposed in a collapsed position.

The table top as in claim 1, wherein the depressions cover substantially the entire lower surface of the table top. 5. The table top as in claim 1, wherein the depressions have a generally consistent spacing between adjacent depressions, the depressions cover substantially the entire lower surface, and the depressions are sized and configured to support the upper surface in a generally consistent manner. 6. The table top as in claim 1, wherein the depressions are arranged into a plurality of rows that extend generally along a length of the table top and a plurality of columns that extend generally along a width of the table top. 7. The table top as in claim 1, wherein the plurality of depressions are arranged into at least ten rows that extend generally along a length of the table top. 8. The table top as in claim 1, wherein the plurality of depressions are arranged into a plurality of rows that extend generally along a length of the table top; and wherein adjacent rows of the plurality of rows are at least partially off-set to form a generally staggered pattern of depressions. 9. The table top as in claim 1, wherein the plurality of depressions are arranged into at least seventeen of columns that extend generally along a width of the table top. 10. The table top as in claim 1, wherein the plurality of depressions are arranged into a plurality of columns that extend generally along a width of the table top; and wherein adjacent columns of the plurality of columns are at least partially off-set to form a generally staggered pattern of depressions. 11. The table top as in claim 1, wherein four adjacent depressions of the plurality of depressions have a generally diamond-shaped configuration. 12. The table top as in claim 1, wherein each of the depressions of the plurality of depressions has a generally rectangular configuration. 13. The table top as in claim 1, further comprising one or more channels formed in the lower surface of the table top, at least a portion of the plurality of depressions being at least partially disposed within the one or more channels. 14. The table top as in claim 1, wherein the generally uniform pattern of depressions is disrupted by other features integrally formed in the table top as part of a unitary, one-piece structure. 15. The table top as in claim 1, wherein a depression from the generally uniform pattern of depressions is separated from the adjacent depressions by a distance that is generally equal to or less than two times a length of the depression. 16. The table top as in claim 1, wherein the generally uniform pattern of depressions includes at least fifty closely spaced depressions. 17. The table top as in claim 1, wherein the generally uniform pattern of depressions includes depressions with a generally uniform configuration and the depressions are arranged into at least five rows of generally aligned depressions and at least five columns of generally aligned depressions. 18. A table top constructed from blow-molded plastic and including a hollow interior portion formed during the blow-molding process, the table top comprising: an upper surface; a lower surface spaced apart from the upper surface by a distance, at least a portion of the upper surface and at least a portion of the lower surface enclosing at least a portion of the generally hollow interior portion of the table top; and a plurality depressions including a generally uniform configuration and being integrally formed in the lower surface as part of a unitary, one-piece table top, the depressions including a height measured from the lower surface to an end of the depression, the depressions being disposed in a generally uniform pattern that covers at least a substantial portion of the lower surface, each of the plurality of depressions including an end that is disposed towards the upper surface of the table top and is sized and configured to help support the upper surface of the table top so that at least that portion of the table top has generally uniform characteristics, the depressions being arranged into a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns; wherein adjacent rows of the plurality of rows are at least partially off-set to form a generally staggered pattern of depressions; and wherein adjacent columns of the plurality of columns are at least partially off-set to form the generally staggered pattern of depressions. 19.
