Table system with modular tops and supports

Abstract

A table system with a multitude of tabletops and a modular constructed table support. The tabletops are of various sizes and shapes with peripheries that complement each other so that table systems may be grouped together. The table support includes a module of a horizontally disposed base member, a connected, upwardly directed curved leg member, a mounting pad and opposing foot members. A second variation includes two back-to-back base members, corresponding leg members, pads and foot members and a linear bridge structure. A third variation includes four base members, four leg members, four pads, four foot members and a cross shaped bridge structure.
