Abstract: Furniture construction which preferably comprises a table which includes an elongated hollow base member having a longitudinal axis and a top peripheral edge. A flat top member has outer and under surfaces, and the under surface is supported on the top peripheral edge of the base member. The top member has a plurality of circumferentially-spaced pockets therein intermediate the outer and under surfaces extending generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A plurality of circumferentially-spaced slots in the under surface of the top member define pocket entrance openings for the pockets. A plurality of spaced-apart deformable tabs extending outwardly from the top peripheral edge of the base member extend through the slots into the pockets for securing together the top and base members.
