Abstract: A variable height table with a convertible multi-function top is described which provides a table which may be used for dining, gaming or other use. The height of the table may be adjusted to a level above the floor. The variable height table has a base which may include casters or other means for facilitating moving the table on the floor. Alternatively, the base may include more permanent means of fastening it to the floor, such as anchors or hold-downs, used alone or in combination with casters. A pedestal connects the base to the table top. The height adjustment mechanism is contained in the pedestal of the table, and can be locked at the selected height setting. The table top of the table is convertible to allow the table to be used for different functions, such an ordinary table, a card table or a pool table. The table top is convertible to its different functions by removing its cover to expose the pool gaming surface, or by installing the cover to expose either its plain surface or its gaming surface.
