Abstract: An article of furniture may include a component such as a frame, leg, or support. The component may be constructed from a strip of material and the strip of material may include a strip length, a strip width, and a strip thickness. The component may include a longitudinal welding joint that may be disposed between a first strip end or a first strip side and a second strip end or second strip side. A profile may be embossed into a surface of the strip of material and the component may be manufactured in a continuous inline roll forming process.

Abstract: A lightweight folding table with legs that may be attached without a separate fixturing step is disclosed. Preferably, the table includes a table top having a working surface and a mounting surface, upon which the legs are attached. Fixturing mounts may be integrally formed with the table top by a process such as blow molding. The fixturing mounts may be configured to receive and hold independent mounting assemblies, each of which is pivotally attached to a leg. The fixturing mounts may have fixturing protrusions arranged so as to frictionally engage the mounting assemblies in such a manner that the mounting assemblies are held in place. An adhesive may then be applied to the mounting assemblies to provide a more permanent attachment, if desired. The adhesive may be allowed to set without using any external fixturing implements to hold the mounting assemblies in place.
