Hide-Away Gathering Table
Knock-down furniture never looked so good. Learn the secrets to building a rugged table that is easy to set up.
There are times when you just need one more table. Whether you’re hosting family for a holiday or getting ready for a weekly game of poker in the garage, it’s nice to have something you can set up quick and put away at the end of the day without hassle. When these occasions roll around, I often find myself scrounging for the same flimsy, white, folding table. It’s cheap, it’s plastic, it’s certainly not flat, and it’s got a wobble that drives me mad. But, it is necessary — or at least it was.
The table you see pictured here is our alternative to the typical choice. The hardwood leg assemblies keep the table steady while also being able to slide together and apart easily. The top is made from a plywood panel surrounded by hardwood edging, keeping it at a conveniently portable weight. You’ll see in plans, the design of the table itself is simple, making this a great weekend project to tackle before your next gathering. Whether it’s for kids or cards, this table knows how to be useful — and how to stay out of the way when it’s not needed.
