The table of claim 1, wherein each frame rail includes a frame tube, an upper wall spaced apart from the frame tube, and an outer wall that interconnects the frame tube with the upper wall, and wherein the frame tube and the upper wall at least partially define a panel-receiving slot configured to receive a lateral edge of one of the panels. 3. The table of claim 2, wherein each panel includes a body having the lateral edges and a panel retainer coupled to the body on at least one of the lateral edges, and wherein at least one of the frame rails includes a retainer slot that receives the panel retainer to maintain position of the panel with respect to the frame rail. 4. The table of claim 3, wherein each panel further includes an end cap coupled to the body and arranged to engage with distal ends of the frame rails when the panel is received in the frame. 5. The table of claim 2, wherein the panels are each formed to include a recess in a top side of the panel along the lateral edges configured to receive the upper wall of the frame rail to allow the upper wall to be planar with the top side of the panel when the panel is received in the frame. 6. The table of claim 5, wherein the frame tube has a rectangular outer profile. 7. The table of claim 2, wherein a portion of the frame tube is concave and the upper wall has a concave profile continuous with the concave portion of the frame tube. 8. The table of claim 7, wherein the panels are each formed to include a recess in the lateral edge configured to receive the upper wall and allow the panel and frame rail to cooperate to define a continuous concave edge profile along the table top section. 9. The table of claim 2, wherein a portion of the frame tube is convex and the upper wall has a convex profile continuous with the convex portion of the frame tube. 10. The table of claim 9, wherein the panels are each formed to include a recess in the lateral edge configured to receive the upper wall and allow the panel and frame rail to cooperate to define a continuous convex edge profile along the table top section. 11. The table of claim 1, wherein the frame rails each include a first wall extending outward and upward from the frame rail and a second wall spaced apart from the first wall and extending outward and downward from the frame rail to at least partially define an accessory slot configured to receive accessories for attachment to the table top. 12. The table of claim 1, wherein a top side of each panel has a first set of features and an under side of each panel has a second set of features different from the first set of features, wherein the panels are each formed to include a recess along the lateral edges configured to receive the upper wall of the frame rail to allow the upper wall to be planar with the top side or under side of the panel when the panel is received in the frame. 13. The table of claim 12, wherein each panel is configured to be received in the frame with either the top side or the under side facing upward at the selection of a user of the table when the table is in the expanded-use position. 14. A table comprising a table top including a first section and a second section,a hinge unit coupling the first section of the table top to the second section and configured to allow rotation of the first section of the table top relative to the second section between an expanded-use position and a collapsed-storage position, anda table top elevator configured to support the table top and including a first leg unit coupled to the first section of the table top and a second leg unit coupled to the second section of the table top,wherein each table top section includes a panel and a frame, the frame including two fixedly spaced apart parallel frame rails coupled to the hinge unit and one of the first or second leg units, the frame rails formed to include a panel receiving slot configured to slideably receive the lateral edges of one of the panels between the fixedly spaced apart parallel frame rails to removably mount the said one of panels to the table top elevator. 15. The table of claim 14, wherein each panel includes a top side sheet, an under side sheet spaced apart from the top side, and a plurality of lattice members extending between the top side sheet and under side sheet to couple the top side sheet to the under side sheet. 16. The table of claim 15, wherein the panels are of extruded construction and the lattice members extend in a lateral direction across the panels between the lateral edges, and wherein the lattice members are configured to provide side-to-side lateral support of the top side sheets and under side sheets of the panels. 17. The table of claim 14, further comprising end caps configured to engage with distal ends of the frame rails to hold the panel in the frame. 18. The table of claim 14, wherein a top side of each panel has a first set of features and an under side of each panel has a second set of features different from the first set of features. 19. The table of claim 18, wherein each panel is configured to be received in the frame with either the top side or the under side facing upward at the selection of a user of the table when the table is in the expanded-use position, wherein the panels are each formed to include a recess along the lateral edges configured to receive the upper wall of the frame rail to allow the upper wall to be planar with the top side or under side of the panel when the panel is received in the frame. 20. A table comprising a table top having a length and a width and including a first section and a second section,a hinge unit coupling the first section of the table top to the second section and for rotation of the first section of the table top relative to the second section between an expanded-use position and a collapsed-storage position, anda table top elevator including a first leg unit coupled to the first section of the table top and a second leg unit coupled to the second section of the table top, the first and second leg units each configured to pivot relative to the table top sections between a closed position extending along the table top to allow folding of the table top to the collapsed-storage position and an opened position extending away from the table top to support the table top in the expanded-use position above a ground level,wherein each table top section includes a panel and a frame, the frame including two spaced apart and parallel frame rails extending along the table top length and coupled to the hinge unit and one of the first or second leg units, the frame rails formed to include a panel-receiving slot configured to slideably receive one of the panels to removably mount said one of the panels to the table top elevator. 21.
