Abstract: A folding portable table includes an upper table surface, a number of folding table legs, and a lower table surface held between the legs by pins protruding from the perimeter of the lower table surface and slidably retained in grooves in the legs. The pins slide up and down in the grooves, allowing the lower table surface to be raised up to, or lowered down from, the upper table surface. When the lower table surface is raised up adjacent to the upper table surface, the legs can be folded under the upper table surface for transport and storage of the table. The table can be deployed by unfolding the legs and lowering the lower table surface down from the upper table surface. The grooves may be tapered from top to bottom such that the pins are frictionally bound in the deployed position in order to make the table stronger.
