1. A table comprising: a base, the base comprising an upper surface and a plurality of pockets;a plurality of legs supporting the base, each of the legs comprising a first band-engaging region and a second band-engaging region spaced from the first band-engaging region; anda plurality of bands; whereineach of the pockets of the base comprises a bottom surface and defines an aperture extending through the bottom surface;each of the legs is received by the aperture defined by a respective one of the pockets of the base;the table is selectively configurable in a first configuration wherein the upper surface of the base is positioned a first distance above a support surface, upon which the legs are configured to rest, the table being further selectively configurable in a second configuration wherein the upper surface of the base is positioned a second distance above a support surface, upon which the legs are configured to rest, the first distance being greater than the second distance;each of the bands is releasably attached to, and at least partially surrounds, the first band-engaging region of a respective one of the legs, and is in contacting engagement with the base, when the table is in the first configuration;each of the bands is releasably attached to, and at least partially surrounds, the second band-engaging region of the respective one of the legs, and is in contacting engagement with the base, when the table is in the second configuration;each of the pockets further comprises an upper, downwardly-facing surface, the upper, downwardly-facing surface of each of the pockets partially defining a respective one of the apertures;each of the bands comprises a first flange; andthe first flange of each of the bands is in contacting engagement with the bottom surface of the respective one of the pockets of the base when the table is in the first configuration, and when the table is in the second configuration. 2. The table of claim 1, wherein: the plurality of the bands comprises a plurality of pairs of the bands;for each of the pairs of the bands, a first one of the pair of the bands is releasably attached to a second one of the pair of the bands;each of the pairs of the bands is releasably attached to the first band-engaging region of the respective one of the legs when the table is in the first configuration; andeach of the pairs of the bands is releasably attached to the second band-engaging region of the respective one of the legs when the table is in the second configuration. 3. The table of claim 2, wherein: for each of the legs, the first band-engaging region comprises a plurality of first ribs, the first ribs being peripherally spaced from one another;for each of the legs, the second band-engaging region comprises a plurality of second ribs, the second ribs being peripherally spaced from one another;each of the bands, of each of the pairs of the bands, defines at least one inwardly-facing notch;the at least one inwardly-facing notch of each of the bands, of each of the pairs of the bands, receives a respective one of the first ribs, of the respective one of the legs, when the table is in the first configuration; andthe at least one inwardly-facing notch of each of the bands, of each of the pairs of the bands, receives a respective one of the second ribs, of the respective one of the legs, when the table is in the second configuration. 4. The table of claim 3, wherein: for each of the pairs of the bands, a first one of the bands defines a first inwardly-facing notch, a second one of the bands defines a second inwardly-facing notch, and the first and second ones of the bands cooperate to define a third inwardly-facing notch and a fourth inwardly-facing notch. 5. The table of claim 1, wherein: each of the pockets further comprises an intermediate, downwardly-facing surface, the intermediate, downwardly-facing surface being positioned between the upper, downwardly-facing surface and the bottom surface;each of the bands further comprises a second flange; andthe second flange of each of the bands is in contacting engagement with the intermediate, downwardly-facing surface of the respective one of the pockets of the base when the table is in the first configuration, and when the table is in the second configuration. 6. The table of claim 5, wherein: each of the legs comprises a lower portion and an upper portion, the upper portion being integral with the lower portion, the upper portion extending away from and above the lower portion, the lower portion comprising an upper, upwardly-facing surface at least partially surrounding the upper portion;the upper, upwardly-facing surface of the lower portion of each of the legs is spaced apart from and below the upper, downwardly-facing surface of the respective one of the pockets when the table is in the first configuration; andthe upper, upwardly-facing surface of the lower portion of each of the legs contacts the upper, downwardly-facing surface of the respective one of the pockets of the base when the table is in the second configuration. 7. The table of 1, wherein: the base further comprises at least one well, the at least one well having an open top and configured to contain at least one of sand and water. 8. The table of claim 7, wherein: the at least one well comprises a first well and a second well; andthe base further comprises a partition separating the first well and the second well. 9. The table of claim 8, wherein: the first well comprises a first bottom and the second well comprises a second bottom; andeach of the first bottom and the second bottom is positioned below the upper surface of the base and defines at least one drain aperture. 10. The table of claim 8, further comprising: a lid, the lid being selectively positioned atop the base such that the lid selectively covers the first well and the second well. 11. The table of claim 7, wherein: the at least one well comprises a bottom, the bottom being positioned below the upper surface of the base and defining at least one drain aperture. 12. The table of claim 7, further comprising: a lid, the lid being selectively positioned atop the base such that the lid selectively covers the at least one well. 13. The table of claim 12, wherein: the base comprises a perimeter lip extending above the upper surface of the base, the lid surrounding the perimeter lip.
