Abstract: A collapsible table (10), having a framework (12) including a number of support members (14) which are joined together by connectors (21, 26) which allow movement such that the framework (12) is moveable from a collapsed configuration (70) to an extended configuration (36). A table surface (16) is attached to the framework (12). There is also at least one elastic element (31) which serves to maintain tension in the table surface (16) so that the table surface (16) is urged to resist sagging when the framework (12) is in the extended configuration (36).
