The article of furniture of claim 1, wherein the connection system comprises: a plurality of locking projections extending from the top edges of the end panels and the intermediate support member and oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the table top; and a plurality of longitudinal guide grooves in a bottom surface of the table top panel in positions corresponding to the plurality of locking projections, the plurality of guide grooves being configured to receive the plurality of locking projections inserted orthogonally with respect to the bottom surface of the table top and to guide the inserted projections into a locking position in response to movement of the table top panel with respect to the support assembly along the longitudinal axis. 3. The article of furniture of claim 2, wherein each guide groove includes an insertion section, a guide section and a locking section, the insertion section of each of the guide grooves being configured to allow movement of a respective locking projection into and out of the guide groove orthogonally with respect to the bottom surface; the guide section of each guide groove being configured to guide a respective locking projection between the insertion section and the locking section in response to movement of the table top with respect to the support assembly along the longitudinal axis of the table top; and the locking section of each groove being configured to receive the locking projection from the guide section and to prevent orthogonal movement of the received locking projections out of the groove. 4. The article of furniture of claim 3, wherein the locking sections of the guide grooves and locking projections received in the locking sections are configured to cooperate to prevent movement of the table top relative to the support assembly along the longitudinal axis of the table top. 5. The article of furniture of claim 4, wherein the plurality of locking projections includes a locking projection positioned at each end of the top edge of each end panel and a locking projection on each of the top edges of the intermediate support member. 6. The article of furniture of claim 5, wherein the locking section of the guide grooves includes a pair of side walls and a base wall that define an undercut region for receiving the locking projections from the guide section, the locking projections being complementarily shaped to the undercut regions so that orthogonal movement of the locking projection out of the groove is prevented. 7. The article of furniture of claim 6, wherein the undercut region and locking projections are dovetail-shaped. 8. The article of furniture of claim 7, wherein the base wall of the locking section is offset from the guide section of the groove, the offset base wall defining a retaining lip on an inner side of the locking section that is configured to allow movement of a corresponding locking projection into the locking section of the groove and to abut the locking projection in the locking section to prevent movement of the projection toward the insertion section of the groove. 9. An article of furniture comprising: a table top panel having a first end, a second end, a bottom surface, a top surface; a first end panel having a top edge for supporting the first end of the table top panel and an interlocking slot; a second end panel having a top edge for supporting the second end of the table top panel and an interlocking slot; a cross-member extending between the first and second panels, the cross-member including an interlocking slot at each end thereof for engagement with the interlocking slots of the first and second end panels, and an upper edge such that is spaced from the bottom surface of the table top when the end panels and the cross-member are interlocked; an intermediate support member arranged between the first and second end panels, the intermediate support member including a horizontal member and a pair of vertically extending ends positioned at each end of the horizontal member, each vertically extending end having a top edge for supporting an intermediate portion of the table top panel, the horizontal member having an interlocking slot for engagement with an interlocking slot on the cross-member at an intersection point, the horizontal member including an upper edge that is substantially coplanar with the upper edge of the cross-member when the intermediate support and the cross-member are interlocked; and a connection system for releasably securing the table top panel to the top edges of the end panels and the intermediate support member; wherein the table top panel includes an opening over the intersection point between the horizontal member and the cross-member and between the vertically extending ends of the intermediate support member. 10. The article of furniture of claim 9, wherein the connection system includes a plurality of locking projections extending from top edges of the end panels and the intermediate support and a plurality of guide grooves on the bottom surface of the table top panel in positions corresponding to the plurality of locking projections; and wherein the plurality of locking projections are configured to be simultaneously received in the plurality of guide grooves in an insertion direction and moved between the insertion section of the groove and a locking section of the groove in response to translational movement of the table top with respect to the top edges. 11. The article of furniture of claim 10, wherein the insertion section of the guide grooves are configured to allow unobstructed movement of the locking projections into and out of the guide grooves orthogonally with respect to the bottom surface of the table top panel. 12. The article of furniture of claim 11, wherein the guide grooves include a longitudinal guide section, the guide section being configured to guide the locking projections from the insertion section to the locking section in response to the translational movement between the table top panel and the top edges of the end panels and the intermediate support member. 13. The article of furniture of claim 12, wherein the locking sections of the grooves are configured to receive the locking projections, and to prevent orthogonal movement of the received locking projections out of the locking sections of the grooves. 14. The article of furniture of claim 13, wherein the locking section of the guide grooves and locking projection received in the locking section are configured to cooperate to prevent movement of the locking projection toward the insertion section of the guide grooves. 15. The article of furniture of claim 14, wherein the locking section of the guide grooves includes a pair of side walls and a base wall that define an undercut region for receiving the locking projections upon the relative rotation between the planar member and the support in a first direction of rotation, the locking projections being complementarily shaped to the undercut regions so that orthogonal movement of the locking projection out of the groove orthogonally with respect to the bottom surface of the planar member is prevented. 16. The article of furniture of claim 15, wherein the undercut region and locking projections are dovetail-shaped. 17. The article of furniture of claim 15, wherein the base wall of the locking section is offset from the guide section of the groove, the offset base wall defining a retaining lip on an inner side of the locking section that is configured to allow movement of a corresponding locking projection into the locking section of the groove and to abut the locking projection in the locking section to prevent movement of the projection toward the insertion section of the groove.
