Portable service table

Abstract

A portable service table is moveable between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The portable service table includes a tabletop, a first leg assembly attached to the first portion, and a second leg assembly attached to the second portion. The tabletop has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first portion top, a first portion bottom, and defines a steering wheel recess that extends from the first portion bottom toward the first portion top. The second portion is hingedly attached to the first portion. The second portion has a second portion first end, a second portion second end, and defines a second portion handle and a second portion passageway. The second portion handle is defined on the second portion second end. The second portion passageway is adjacent the steering wheel recess when said portable service table is in the closed configuration.
