DescriptionThis table has four square turned legs attached to folding sides with nails and screws. A wooden brace is centered under the table to prevent the legs from folding when the table is standing upright. The brace is attached with a spring bolt to a block of wood which is in turn attached to the underside of the table top. The table top is rectangular and has marks on it which may be water stains. Lifting the ends of the brace slightly allows the legs to fold since there are hinges on the piece of wood the legs are attached to.
