Wall-mounted folding table

Abstract

The wall-mounted folding table has a cabinet adapted for mounting on a wall. A table or workbench is enclosed in the cabinet and may be folded outwardly therefrom when desired. Gas springs are provided to assist in unfolding and folding the table. Telescopic legs and adjustable feet are utilized for varying the leg length. Sliding doors are employed as a space-saving function to open and close the cabinet. The sliding doors are fabricated from pegboard so that an array of tools can be hung thereon.
