Abstract

A collapsible table system configured to transition between a table configuration and a case configuration for easy transport or storage. The collapsible table system generally includes a tabletop having a cavity on its lower end adapted to store various components such as legs, clamps, stabilizing members, and/or attachments. The legs may be removably connected to the lower end of the tabletop to support the tabletop at various heights when in the table configuration. The legs may be stored within the cavity of the tabletop when in the case configuration. Clamps may be utilized both connect stabilizing members between the legs and to support a shelf at various heights below the tabletop. Various attachments may be stored within the tabletop to be extracted when needed.
